Wild Boy #7
This is an anthology issue containing several stories. "Gift of the Jungle Gods" by Frank Kramer follows an expedition in Tanganyika seeking native guides to explore the interior, where they encounter an old white-bearded man near the Great Lake and eventually meet the famous Dr. Livingstone in November 1871. "The Invincible Weapon" is a text story depicting a confrontation between Chief Osan's dying son Kiota and the white hunter Frederik Von Staat over hunting practices and the power of the rifle. In the final story, Wild Boy returns to a village where he has offended Chief Oriki by arriving with two Bwanas; conflict ensues when Forbes and other hunters arrive seeking to hunt lions, leading to a dangerous situation that Wild Boy must help resolve.
