Rulah hates cephalopods

I'm pretty sure I've featured this gorgeous Matt Baker cover before, but Mike DeStasio reminded me of it and it's one of my favorites, so here it is again.

Pass the Comics: The Jungle. Here I was born.

The Six Million Dollar Man fights a giant crocodile



Bully has the good parts (including sound effects!).

Tarzan of the Apes



Not the whole thing, but Grantbridge Street and Other Misadventures has a nice sampling of pages from Burne Hogarth's gorgeous adaptation.

Rulah avoids Death's Grim Reflection



Another awesome Rulah story by Matt Baker. In this uncharacteristically graphically violent one, Rulah takes on an evil prognosticator, his beautiful henchwoman, and her army of wild animals. [The Comic Book Catacombs]

Tiger Girl vs. the Blood-Hate Devil-Doctor



More Matt Baker. Like Rulah, Tiger Girl also has to fight an evil witchdoctor. [The Comic Book Catacombs]

Turok faces Two Kinds of Terror



Sort of a Turok meets Gulliver's Travels story. [Gold Key Comics!]

Outside-In



Scientists discover the Savage Land...with a scifi twist. [Golden Age Comic Book Stories]

Pass the Comics: Heads on Vases!

The Jungle Twins on the Island of Dr. Strangekind



[Gold Key Comics!]

Rulah vs. The Cat Killers



[The Comic Book Catacombs]

Futura vs. The Tyrannical Decapitated Heads That are On Life-Support



Also, there's an underground city, animal-men, and roboty secrets. The awesomeness continues. [Lady, That's My Skull]

Pass the Comics: Jungle Folks and Carson of Venus

Thun'da, King of the Lost Lands



In honor of Frank Frazetta, The Comic Book Catacombs has posted all four stories from his and Gardner Fox's Thun'da, King of the Congo #1. This first one tells the origin of Thun'da.

Thun'da leaps to meet the Monsters from the Mist



In which Thun'da fights woolly mammoths and gorilla-men.

Thun'da stood alone... When the Earth Shook!



In which Thun'da gets a pet.

More Thun'da, Rulah, Kaänga, and a space monster after the break.

Pass the Comics: Thrilling! Exciting! Educational!

Captain Daring vs the Alliance of Evil



[Pappy's Golden Age Comics Blogzine]

[Golden Age Comic Book Stories - you'll need to scroll way down, but there's other good stuff in there too]

Jungle folks, Machine Gun Kelly, and a space girl after the break.

Pass the Comics: Jungle Girls and Radioactive Dinosaurs

Kaänga and the Deathmaker

[The Comic Book Cata-- I mean, Radioactive Dinosaur Comix. There's not a ton of plot, but there sure is a whole lot of rampaging.]

Comics: Die, Monster! Die!

What Happened to Doctor Dorrm



Merpeople try to take over the world. [Scroll down to the bottom of this post at Golden Age Comic Book Stories]

Monster Isle



A funny, ongoing comic strip featuring giant monsters.

[The Comic Book Catacombs]

Rulah, Jungle Goddess and the Slumbering City



[The Comic Book Catacombs]

Flash Gordon Meets Bono (and Other Stories)

I feel kind of bad that I haven't had any Christmas-related stuff on the blog this year. My original idea for an Adventureblog Christmas became Plump Sister and I never got around to a solid plan for replacing it. Ironically, Christmas busyness got in the way, but I do hope everyone's having happy holidays if you celebrate them.

Captain Splint's Hairy Helper



The other day we got pirates and a jungle girl. This time 10c Dreams brings us pirates and a gorilla. Oh, if only someone could combine all three into one marvelous tale...

Princess of the Sea



It's not often we see mermaid comics, but the mermaid experts at Never Sea Land have come through.

Know what would be cooler than a pirate-jungle girl-gorilla comic? A pirate-jungle girl-gorilla comic with mermaids in it. Good thing Jess and I are working on one.

Rulah vs the Ape Women of Antilla



The keepers of all things Rulah at the Comic Book Catacombs have the whole story.

Rulah and the Whispering Wires of Death



This one too.

Steps of Doom



Maybe Flash doesn't meet quite as cool a Bono as he could have, but it's still a nifty story. [Comic Book Catacombs again]

And Now the News: Multiple Alices Kicking Serious Butt

Rulah vs. the Carnivorous Blonde



The Comic Book Catacombs has the full story.

Novasett Island



I don't know anything about this other than what's on that cover, but Novasett Island looks like it was pretty much made for me. Thanks to House of Duck for pointing it out.

Age of Reptiles: The Journey



And speaking of comics made for me, Ricardo Delgado's newest dinosaur comic is coming out from Dark Horse in November. Siskoid has reviews of the previous two mini-series.

Gravedigger: Hot Women, Cold Cash



Christopher Mills has a preview up from his and Rick Burchett's next Gravedigger comic. It was Gravedigger that first turned me on to Chris' stuff, so I'm especially excited to see this sequel. It's excellent noir.

The Azzarelloverse



When I first heard about DC's plans to start a new line of comics with old pulp heroes like Doc Savage, I wasn't as excited as I thought I should be. I don't know a lot about Doc Savage or the Blackhawks, the Spirit's already got his own ongoing that I'm not reading, and Rima's never been my favorite jungle girl.

But hearing more about it at Chicago Comic-Con has got me plenty pumped for it. I figured it was going to be in its own small corner of the existing DC Universe, but I love the idea that instead it's part of a separate reality in which no superpowers exist. So you can have Batman and the Black Canary (without her sonic scream) running around, but no Superman or Green Lantern. Knowing that crime-writer Brian Azzarello is playing a large part in its development helps a lot too. It should be a much tougher style of costumed crime-fighting with more focus on detective work and brawling. Looking forward to it.

How to dress like Black Canary



RCXY has your shopping guide. Beware of automatic runway music though.

Resident Evil 4



Finally. And in 3D. And, according to Milla, "Let’s just say this. The clones are definitely in it. You’ve got multiple Alice’s kicking serious butt." That's all I need to know.

Adventureblog Gallery: Halt, Murderers!

Your Marvel Classics Comics Cover of the Day



By John Romita, Jr, who makes the story look 1000% more exciting than I remember Mark Twain's writing it. This is the last one of these, by the way. There are many other covers from the series that you can look at, but now you've seen all my favorites.

Surface-dwellers, Beware!



Thanks once again to Brother Calvin, I now have helmets for my undersea forces to wear while launching strikes in their personal battle-subs.

Your 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Picture of the Day



By Alphonse de Neuville.

Trouble Tide



By John Schoenherr.

Rulah vs. Octopus



By Matt Baker.

Footman 15



By Kerry Callen. I think I've got all the Footman 15 issues that Christopher Rich-McKelvey produced. They're very cheesecakey, but unlike a lot of that kind of thing, the stories are also very good. I'm sorry he didn't stay with it. Nice to see this pin-up by Callen.

Underaged Bride



By Sarah Mensinga. (More Universal monsters at DrawerGeeks.)

The Cownt



By Gavin Spence. Actual art from Gav's Cownt Tales story. I love this so much. It may be my favorite thing that Gav's ever drawn.

Life-size Gundam



By crazy people. Apparently, the head turns and the lights really work.

Rulah the Jungle Goddess and the Labyrinth of Love

If you just can't wait for When Drive-Ins Attack for your jungle girl adventure, The Comic Book Catacombs has another Rulah the Jungle Goddess story for you.

Jungle Week: Rulah vs. Goat

The Man Who Wouldn't Die!



Rulah has faced a lot of tough animals in her career as Jungle Goddess. She's even defeated a pack of wolves by hitting them with another wolf. But never - we are promised - has she had occasion to fight a goat. I guess they were running out of cool animals. You can get the whole story at the Comic Book Catacombs.

Jungle Titan



Burne Hogarth - on the other hand - knew what to do when Tarzan had fought enough lions. Have him fight giant lions! (Lots of other great Tarzan newspaper strips in that link too.)
