Comic: Jungle Action comics 1-4


Originally published by Atlas (V1) The company's second series of this name premiered with an issue cover-dated October 1972 with containing reprints of the same-name Atlas Comics title. Now under the Marvel label. Some critics considered these 1950s "white savior" stories an odd choice during a time of a newly post-colonial Africa and the rise of black power consciousness. "Although as many battles were fought against white hunters as natives," wrote one, "the motivations were different: the hunters (or treasure seekers, or slave traders) were greedy and manipulative. The natives, on the other hand, were greedy and stupid, in need of a white savior. This was the overriding social message of the jungle comics...."

This began to change with an actual African hero, the Black Panther, getting his first starring feature with issue #5
