Dan Zolnerowich covers Jungle Comics #30, Up for Auction

Dan Zolnerowich's spectacular Kaanga action cover on Jungle Comics #30 from Fiction House in 1942 has made it a favorite in the decades since.


Jungle Comics #30 is a golden age book that I have seen a few times in my adventures running a comic shop. It's a comic book that catches your eye every time you see it. Maybe it is the action-packed cover by Dan Zolnerowich, featuring a full-on fight with Kaanga and a panther, or maybe the stories on the inside were really beloved. I am not sure of the reason, but readers in 1942 bought the hell out of this issue. A CGC 4.5 copy of the book is taking bids at Heritage Auctions right now, and you can check it out below.
