Originally the star of Republic's 1942 movie serial Perils Of Nyoka, Nyoka went on to a long career in comics that outlasted the age of serials. This issue, based on Perils of Nyoka, divides the action into cliffhanging chapters, a Nyoka tradition for years to come. Nyoka, raised in the jungle by her scientist father, searches for the golden tablets of Hippocrates, containing the medical secrets of the ancients. But the sinister Queen Vultura wants them too. In a backup story, The Mad Artist draws mustaches on every face he can find. Doom in the Desert; Valley of Sacrifice; Vultura's Vengeance; Treasure of Terror!; The Finger of Fate; Climax of Conquest; The Three Legionnaires; Willie Wynn; The Mad Artist. Final issue under this title; series continues three years later as Nyoka the Jungle Girl (1945 Fawcett) #2. 64 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
