First issue of the series with a red cover introducing the title and cover panels for Cliff Mason Jann of the Jungle Waku Prince of the Bantu and The Unknown Jungle. The Waku feature is titled "Fire Spirit." His story opens with the death of Chief Kaba whose final command binds his son to the jungle's fire spirit and forces Waku into exile rather than immediate succession. Waku kills the wild bull marauding the village learns that the hunter Mabu has profited by sending white hunters after elephant herds and returns when Kaba's spirit releases him from his vow ending with Waku restored as leader of the Bantu beside Lalei.<br /> 2 Jungle Tales.
