Angola in the Comics #24: Jann of the Jungle

Well, here's a comic book story set in Angola - but it's not actually a comic! Jann of the Jungle #9 (1956) had a 2-page text story called "Law of the Jungle." Unfortunately, it had no images and the writer was not credited. But this is reasonably good use of Angola as it was evidently written by someone who knew a bit about the country, basing it in Chá Columba and demonstrating some knowledge of Portuguese. I've written a profile for the lead character, Eudardo Labarca on the Marvel Appendix!
