Thun'da, King of the Congo #2

A golden-haired castaway washes ashore on the African coast and catches the eye of Thun'da, the jungle king—but when a scheming witch doctor learns of her arrival, he sees a chance to manipulate his superstitious people into raiding the ancient city of Kotangu for its hidden treasures. Now Thun'da must battle both Bwakka warriors and his own captivity to rescue those he holds dear from a sinister altar. Written and illustrated by the creative team behind this wild 1952 adventure, "The White Goddess of Kotangu!" delivers jungle action at its most primal and unapologetic.

When jewel thief Slinky James flees into the Congo with a fortune in stolen diamonds, he finds the jungle itself a more relentless adversary than any police pursuit—filled with roaring predators, hostile warriors, and terrors at every turn. Thun'da, the jungle king, becomes aware of the desperate thief's presence and moves to enforce his own law across the wild lands, but the Congo has already begun exacting its own price. As Slinky James races toward what might be salvation, he discovers that the jungle's justice is far stranger—and more final—than anything civilization can offer.

When Berber ivory hunters invade the Congo jungle, Thun'da must protect both Muka and his companion Pha from their rifles and slave trade. As the hunters capture Pha and drive their caravan deeper into the wilderness, the jungle king devises a cunning strategy—using fear and intimidation to turn the bearers against their masters. With Muka and Sabre answering his call, Thun'da faces his most desperate battle yet to free those he loves and reclaim his jungle home.

In "The Ape God of Kor," Thun'da and Pha return to the Dawn Lands, where they’re reunited with Cave Girl—only to be captured by the apemen of Kor. With Boorg and the wilds of the jungle closing in, it’s Cave Girl’s rare gift for speaking to animals that might just be their only chance to escape.
