Chapter VI of Perils of Nyoka is titled "Climax
of Conquest" from Jungle Girl #1 (1942), originally published by
Fawcett Comics (which adapted Republic's PERILS OF NYOKA movie serial).
The last chapter of this golden age serial failed to provide me with the violent
death of boyfriend Larry. I mean just look at that opening splash panel! You
would think this was his feature; so I blame the writer of this adventure, "Rod
Reed" for exhibiting a bit of male chauvinism and Harry Anderson still drew the thing. I
have tons of Nyoka stories, and while many do include her boyfriend, not all of them do. Her
adventures were also largely done in this chapter format, so whether I will group them
together in multiple posts ongoing is yet to be decided. 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

You wanted Larry to die, and I'm sure that Pappy wanted Satan to live. Disappointment all around.
