Collection: Jungle Action 1954 Series

Jungle Action comic books, published during a time of few superheroes, was a multi-character omnibus starring the blond-haired, Tarzanesque Lo-Zar, Lord of the Jungle (renamed "Tharn" in 1970s reprints, presumably to avoid confusion with Marvel's modern-day Ka-Zar), Jungle Boy, the teenaged son of a renowned hunter; Leopard Girl and Man-Oo the Mighty, the jungle-protector gorilla hero of naturalistic, narrated nature dramas. The series' attractive art, generally transcended stories, but one critic called it "painful to a modern eye, racist, ridiculous and old-fashioned".
