First Line: Leaping Leopards! It's my warrior chief Bugaboo!
Synopsis: The Bantam is living the good life in the jungle. He is informed by warrior chief Bugaboo that white hunters have been seen nearby. He investigates but finds no sign of them. It is a ruse to lure Bantam away from his throne. The natives are tired of generations of Bantams exploiting their wealth and now want to kill him. They rip off Bantam's suit, which they discover is inflatable, like a life-raft. Inside the suit is a real "Ghost-who-Walks" It's Casper (or a lookalike.) He only wore the suit, he explains, so somebody would play with him!

Disclose Notes: Parody of an advertisement which might have appeared on the back covers of Silver-Age comic books.

The back cover ads on all Krazy Little Comics titles appeared, at first glance, to be genuine ads of the era. All of these were drawn by Art Spiegleman, now famous for his Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel, Maus.
