Written and drawn entirely by Leo Bachle, the story follows Johnny as he evades German forces over the Libyan jungle, crash-lands, and finds himself in the clutches of a savage tribe—only to rise as their unlikely champion. The cover by Edmond Good captures the drama in bold, dynamic lines, setting the stage for a tale where courage and cunning meet in the heart of the unknown.
In "Introducing Rex Baxter and the Island of Doom," Rex and Gail find themselves stranded on a mysterious island after their ship is ambushed by a German submarine and a giant ray attacks them in the water. Trapped with no way off, they must survive the island’s dangers and unravel its secrets—before the sea claims them.
In "Johnny Canuck," the hero soars over the Libyan jungle in 1942, only to crash-land and fall into the hands of savage tribesmen. Forced to prove himself, he challenges their tyrant king and earns the people’s trust—just as a German patrol threatens their village.
