Jungle Comics #41
In "The King Ape Feeds at Dawn," a 1943 Jungle Comics standout, a band of Arab horse thieves betrays an honest trader and conspires with Nazis to steal valuable mounts. Written by Pierre La Rue and illustrated by Bob Webb, this wartime adventure sees Terry and the lancers racing to reclaim the stolen horses and restore justice—before the desert sun sets on their mission. The cover, by Dan Zolnerowich, captures the tension with a striking, shadowed image of a primal threat looming over the scene.
