Kaänga Comics #17

In "Tembu, the Elephant!" from Kaänga Comics #17 (1953), the Iboras face a brutal invasion when the Rugas, enraged by their refusal to supply warriors, unleash a massive elephant named Tembu to crush their kraal. With Trader Grant's daughter and Ann taken hostage, Kaänga and Musungu track the raiders into enemy territory, venturing deep into the heart of the Rugas' land. Penciled and inked by Maurice Whitman, this action-packed tale brings the raw energy of early adventure comics to life, with Frank Riddell scripting a story of courage and survival in the African wilderness.
