Jungle Comics #28
"Vengeance of the Flame God" in Jungle Comics #28 (1942) delivers a gripping tale of madness and redemption, as Pilot Pete, driven mad by a head injury, turns on his companions Ann and Tom and hands them to the Lanchi cannibals. Written by Roy L. Smith and illustrated with gritty detail by Henry Kiefer, the story follows Wambi and his jungle allies as they race to save the group before Pete’s fractured mind fully consumes him. The cover, by Dan Zolnerowich, captures the perilous tension of the moment with stark, dramatic flair.
