Camilla, Queen of the Lost Empire in "Caredodo" (Fiction House;1940)

Legendary golden age artist Bob Powell illustrates "Caredodo", a previously untitled thriller starring Camilla, Queen of the Lost Empire from Jungle Comics #6 (Jun.1940); originally published by Fiction House. Clearly inspired on the classic novel “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” by Victor Hugo, it is still a fun read. 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 publisher and/or creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes. Enjoy!

I really like the results when Powell was still working within the conventions of the early golden age.
