Jo-Jo Comics #26

Jo-Jo, King of the Congo, accepts an invitation to visit the palace of King Matzulak, only to discover that the mysterious Queen Coryba harbors sinister designs on his life and kingdom. As Jo-Jo senses her treachery mounting—she's secretly assembling an army with modern weapons, aircraft, and armored vehicles—he races to prepare his warriors for an invasion that will test whether courage and cunning can stand against the machinery of modern warfare. This is a battle for survival on a scale the jungle has never seen before.

A fugitive fleeing his creditors stumbles into Jo-Jo's jungle territory and, forced to prove his courage by saving Tanee from danger, sets himself dangerously at odds with the Congo King himself. With Richard Dawson torn between self-preservation and nobility, and his growing feelings for Jo-Jo's mate putting him on a collision course with the mighty ape, the jungle becomes a pressure cooker of conflicting loyalties and violent passion. Can a man prove his worth through a single act of heroism, or will his true nature ultimately reveal itself?

Wealthy Silas Johnson journeys to Africa determined to return his fortune to the natives he once exploited, seeking redemption before his death—but his granddaughter Shiela follows with murder on her mind, determined to protect her inheritance. When jungle perils and unexpected twists upend her plans, both grandfather and granddaughter find themselves caught in the jungle's violent reckoning. This tale of greed, atonement, and jungle justice shows what happens when one person seeks to make amends while another will stop at nothing to prevent it.
