The W'gissi tribe constructs a wooden monster to scare another tribe away from their hunting grounds in an untitled story that I’ve dubbed “The Trojan River Beast”, starring the golden age warrior, Voodah, from Crown Comics #6 (Winter 1945). After this story, Voodah would make a single additional appearance in this incarnation, before he would become just another white jungle lord in a loincloth. What the reasoning behind this unfortunate change truly was is lost to the ages, but needless to say the forward thinking that had first allowed creator Matt Baker to present a black adventure hero had long since run its course. The splash page creator credit ‘Clarence Ramon’ is probably an alias for artist Bob Hebberd (with slight facial touch-ups by either Baker or Jack Kamen) in this issue originally published by Golfing/McCombs. The Catacombs is grateful to Don "Zu-Gogo" Falkos for providing the scans for this story. Note: The copyright for this issue, its contents and artwork belong to the original publisher and/or creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes.
Enjoy!
