About the author

Joseph P. Gill was an American magazine writer and highly prolific comic book scripter. Most of his work was for Charlton Comics, where he co-created the superheroes Captain Atom, Peacemaker, and Judomaster, among others. Comics historians consider Gill a top contender as the comic-book field's most prolific writer. Per historian and columnist Mark Evanier, Gill "wrote a staggering number of comics. There are a half-dozen guys in his category. If someone came back and said he was the most prolific ever, no one would be surprised."

3.5 Stars

I didn't enjoy this volume quite as much as the previous volumes, but it was still a decent read. It's pretty formulaic with each issue having three stories. Pay Boyette does the art, and it may just be me but it looks a little rushed.

More great jungle action, and if you like the Phantom, you'll probably like this. It's just not as good as the earlier volumes.
