Today I'm presenting another Catacombs debut, this story is taken from Blue Ribbon Comics #4 (Jun. 1940); originally published by MLJ/Archie during the golden age. "The Origin of Ty-Gor" was written by Joe Blair and drawn by the great Mort Meskin.
Like so many other jungle boys, lords and kings; Ty-Gor, Son of the Tiger is a knock-off of Tarzan. Here you get to experience his origin, witness the tragic death of his parents and see how an orphaned baby known as Tyrone Gorman ("TY-rone GOR-man, get it?") becomes adopted by the tigress Malma.
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 the creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes.
Enjoy & Happy Easter to you all!
