Bombo in "The Creeping Scourge" (Star Publications;1952)

Here is a neat golden age curiosity for you to digest. Regular Catacombs Congo King, Jo-Jo appears today, but in repurposed form as “Bombo” in a wild tale billed as “The Creeping Scourge” from Terrors of the Jungle #20 (Dec.1952); released by Star Publications. His gal-pal Tanee doesn't endure a name change; go figure. Also included is the terrific L.B. Cole cover from the issue that highlights this very story (the original title was actually “The Crimson Scourge”) which ran in Jo-Jo #11 (Jun.1948). 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 belongs to the original publishers and/or the creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!
