Tabu, Wizard of the Jungle in "The Wind God" (Fiction House;1940)
Tabu, Wizard of the Jungle returns to the Catacombs today in an untitled tale from Jungle Comics #7 (July 1940); originally published by Fiction House and credited to writer Robert Lewis and artist Charles Sultan. Tabu must face a terrible wind, blowing over Africa and wreaking havoc on local villages. The capricious wind-god known as Boreas is responsible and although Tabu tries to prevent the carnage, superstitious villagers take the opportunity to scheme against our hero.

The art is excellent; the writing… well, by rights the author ought have paid the publisher for this, and the readers should each have received a dime!
It's nice to get a look at this character after his creator Fletcher Hanks passed it on to other talents Hanks only did the first installment, but it seems the follow-ups were almost as daft!
