Great Find David! A great new addition to the catalogue. The Movie King Solomon's Mines with Deborah Kerr, Stewart Granger, Richard Carlson came out in 1950, so this would have been a cash-in attempt. Would probably have sold well.
The art is by Lee J Ames.May well be the only comic book he ever did. Pity, his cover looks a little like Frazetta. He doesn't have a Lambiak listing.

Interestingly he worked for Disney and published a large series of 'Draw 50' 'how to' Drawing books, even up to Star Wars in 1984.

I had begun reading this one before I saw your post.
I'll finish it later but so far it seems to be an excellent retelling of the story I first read in hardback from the library in high school back in the 60's.
