Jungle Comics #47
"Monster of the Moon Pool" delivers a pulse-pounding adventure from 1943, spotlighting Muranda, a white woman leading a native tribe in the perilous collection of rare cobra venom. When she captures Ann to protect her operation, Kaänga steps in to save her, leading to a dramatic showdown where Muranda meets her end at the hands of her own serpents. Written by Frank Riddell and illustrated with bold energy by Jim Mooney, the story’s striking cover by Rafael Astarita captures the jungle’s lurking danger.
