THUN'DA KING OF THE CONGO Volume 1 Collects #2-6, 1952-53. Highly Recommended. By Bob Powell. First appearing in comics in 1952 and on film in Columbia Pictures serial "King of the Congo" starring Buster Crabbe, Thun'da was a fictional Tarzan-esque character scripted by Gardner Fox and originally created by artist Frank Frazetta! Thun'da was Roger Drum, a World War II United States Air Force officer who was shot down while flying over a lost civilization, deep in the heart of Africa. Bob Powell took over and did a superb job on #2 through #6, collected here — but Powell's fine work has always been in the shadow of Frazetta's work in issue #1. Powell's at his best here, with Thund'da and his voluptuous girl friend...it's as exciting as the work he did on Cave Girl, which is another under-appreciated title from the same publisher, Magazine Enterprises (ME).

None of these titles have yet been reprinted by PS, so this is their first appearance.

RED BAND #1 Facsimile Edition Recommended. Art by Bob Fuji, August Froehlich, Henry Kiefer, Sam Cooper, Jerry Schiano and...get this...Gil Kane! Published in November 1944 by Rural Home Publishing, this oddity includes a variety of super-hero and adventure stories typical of the Golden Age... well, kind of. Bogey Man is a clear swipe of The Spirit, including hat and face mask. And the very, very weird villain Satanas is one scary demon from hell, out to destroy the world in The Daredevil's Claw. This first issue is part of a series that ran until May 1945, comprising a total of four issues. One of the weirdest titles from the post-war explosion of new titles and companies after the paper shortage was over. PS Artbooks, 2024....More. Item Code: REDBA01 Comic, 7x10, 52pg, Full Color |
