A gorgeous page by Frank Frazetta from Thun'da, King of the Congo #1 (January, 1952). Thun'da was a strong influence on Mike Grell's The Warlord series for DC, which appeared more than twenty years later.
Frazetta only drew the first issue of this comic book, which was written by Gardner Fox. The remaining five issues were drawn by Bob Powell who, while a good artist in his own right, is no Frazetta.
Then again, who is?
Despite being short lived, the comic was the source for the 1952 movie serial King of the Congo.

Leading man Buster Crabbe was most famous for his roles as Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, but he had prior loincloth experience in serials playing Tarzan and Kappa the Lion Man. This would be Crabbe's last role in a serial, as well as the last time a Tarzan-like jungle hero appeared in the serials as well.
