Lorna the Jungle Girl #23
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "Zambalai!", Lorna the Jungle Girl follows the strange, haunting cry echoing through the dense wilderness, only to uncover a film crew camouflaging a secret mission—uncovering a hidden band of uranium hunters. Written by Don Rico and illustrated by Jay Scott Pike, with inks by Chris Rule and letters by Joe Letterese, this 1957 adventure blends jungle mystery with Cold War-era intrigue, all captured in a striking cover by Bill Everett.
When the haunting call of "Zambalai!" cuts through the jungle, Lorna the Jungle Girl follows the sound, only to stumble upon a film crew—its cameras rolling, its crew suspiciously secretive. As she uncovers the truth, she realizes the movie is just a front for a group of uranium hunters digging deep beneath the wilds.
In "The Lost Legions!" from Lorna the Jungle Girl #23 (1957), Lorna and Greg stumble upon a hidden city ruled by the descendants of Roman warriors. Accused of trespassing, Lorna is sentenced to face a lion in the arena, while Greg is left to find a way to save her.
In "Beware the Python!", Jo teams up with Greg, a seasoned jungle guide, on a perilous quest for rare flowers—only to discover their real mission is a hidden treasure guarded by deadly pythons. With the jungle itself a treacherous maze of danger, trust is as fragile as the vines overhead.
