Wednesday Worlds of Wonder BOMBA THE JUNGLE BOY "Nightmare!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

...Karg, would-be world conqueror from millennia ago attempts to finish what he started in the distant past.
Standing against him is the only person on present-day Earth who knows who he is and what danger he represents...


That prayer went unanswered as Bomba and Krag never met in mortal combat again!
This never-reprinted (in English) seventh issue of DC's Bomba the Jungle Boy was the final appearance of the character in comics.
Correction: a couple of the series' early issues were reprinted in the back of DC's Tarzan in the 1970s when the book switched to the "100-page Super-Spectacular" format after going from monthly to bi-monthly!
Since DC no longer had the rights to Bomba, the character was re-named "Simba"!
But neither this, nor the previous issue, were reprinted.
Trivia note: when this issue was reprinted in France, the cover art was modified...
I have no idea why!
(It looks like they're playing "tug of war"!)
Next Week:
A New World of Wonder!
