Jungle Comics #10 was an early entry into the popular series that ran for 163 issues from 1940 to 1954, proving that the jungle action genre was a solid and bankable comic book category from the earliest days of the industry. Featuring Kaanga, a Tarzan-like musclebound hero, on the cover of this issue, Dan Zolernowich’s classic imagery and impressive art represent a very fine example of the type of thrills Jungle Comics would provide to Golden Age readers, while modern-day collectors vie for these treasured artifacts of yesteryear.
_________________________________________________
This striking 9.6 copy of Jungle Comics #10 easily tops the scarce 11 copies listed on the CGC Census — and is typical of the outstanding books of the Edgar Church/Mile High pedigree. The colors are searingly hot with blinding orange and yellow hues that have stood the test of time. From the spine to the corners, this is a truly exemplary example of an extremely rare Golden Age treasure.
