The Comet #29
In this 1947 adventure, Dick finds himself stranded in the jungle when their canoe springs a leak, forcing him to climb a tree for a better view. From his high vantage point, he witnesses a sudden and tense moment as hostile natives capture Bibi, Baki, and the Zamba men—leaving his friends in danger and the path ahead uncertain. The story unfolds with quiet suspense, drawn in crisp, expressive lines by Reg Beaumont (as Beau), whose distinctive art brings the jungle’s hidden threats to life.
