An interesting comic for all fans of classic jungle adventures.
By bettybrant
A title that says the quiet part out loud.
By The Australian Panther
Another comic that has no artist credits.
The cover is by Raymond Kiintsler and the inside front page and the story are by Louis Ravelli [Spelling/] both signed. The only thing that would interest me about this kind of Jungle girl or guy story would be the art, in this case it's excellent. The story here isn't bad either.
Also in this case the artist has done some research, so the environment really looks like a jungle and the details like the snake and the animals, the hut and the bamboo cage, are quite accurate.
These characters were obviously devised to appeal to adolescent guys, and maybe some girls. The social elements are of their time and a lot healthier than most of the then current horror comics with the tormented girls in red dresses on the covers.
Cheers!

The 'Origin of Capt Courage' story is pretty certainly Will Eisner art.
By SuperScrounge
It looks that way, but checking the GCD page shows Captain Courage is a reprint from Punch Comics 1 and is credited to Charles Sultan (who had worked at the Eisner & Iger Shop before working for the Chesler Shop).

So what Betty? Why the contemptuous tone? This is hardly a Ku-Klux-Klan textbook. There's an abundance of self-titled 'Black Queens' these days on the internet and in various other media wherever you look, and nobody even raises an eyebrow about their claims to royalty (and I'm perfectly fine with all that, everyone can be whatever they want in my comic book. Wanna be a queen? Knock yourself out!). I don't understand why you or anyone should get their knickers twisted because of some old comics from long gone era. It's a pure teenage fantasy, obviously. Any examples of racism or imperialism inside (if there are such) should be of course pointed and criticized. But this white-color-oversensitivity of some folks is just plain silly. Why can't we have all the queens and princesses (and kings, and princes too) of all colors
