Rulah Jungle Goddess in "The Poison Sourswine" (Fox;1948)

They say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, which rings false in regards to my ex-wife, but definitely proves true with the lovely Rulah Jungle Goddess. The jungle goddess has been away too long; my "ex", not long enough. This fun tale called "The Poison Sourswine" from Zoot Comics #16 (July.1948); was originally published by Fox Feature Syndicate, Inc. The GCD lists Matt Baker as artist, with a question mark; which brings into question whether he flew solo on this exciting tale, or did Jack Kamen lend a helping hand?

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 publishers and/or the creators and is reproduced here solely for entertainment purposes.











Enjoy!

Wonder when that Matt Baker biography will finally be released? Amazon's had it listed as "not yet available" for at least a year. I'd like to get it once it finally hits air.

Andy 7, to tide yourself over, I recommend picking up Matt Baker: The Art of Glamour from TwoMorrows publishing. It's available at their website right now for a 15% discount, making it around $34.
