Kaänga was a Tarzan-alike character who starred in the Golden Age anthology comedian collection Jungle Comics, revealed by Fiction House from 1941 and created by Alex Blum. A runaway orphan raised in the jungle by apes, he returned to “civilisation” the place he fell in love with one Ann Mason, who retaught him English. However, discovering that they have been unable to acclimatise to human society collectively, they each returned with Kaänga to stay in the jungle, the place they discovered themselves combating every thing from dinosaurs to witch medical doctors to Nazis. While Kaänga was the star, as the comedian continued, that began to swap as the publishers began to work out increasingly more of what they wished. And so with Jungle Comics #15, a replica of which is up for public sale from Heritage Auctions, Ann began to achieve larger prominence on the cowl of the comedian, over Kaanga, on this cowl by Nick Cardy. Ann is upfront, and Kaänga is approach off in the again. And this publishing historical past was made, and the Jungle Girl comics grew to become increasingly more fashionable. For some time at least.
This explicit problem of the comedian additionally noticed Arthur Peddy draw the character Red Panther, lengthy earlier than anybody thought of Black Panthers, whereas a Sir Champion story by Robert Webb sees the villain Remardo threaten to destroy Camilla’s metropolis in an try to make her marry him. Sounds like a narrative that performed out in Britain not too way back…
