Kaänga #1 published January 1958
as The Red Claw of Vengeance [Story on Interior Page(s)]

Reprint Notes:

Miscellaneous

Pages: 10

Notes: This story, curiously, is built from the bones of the story "Hate Has a Thousand Claws!" from Jungle Comics #100, borrowing many panels of art. The story has many different sequences, and a different conclusion, however.
