Notes: Adapted from the novel KING SOLOMON'S MINES by H. Rider Haggard.
Originally credited to Lee Ames, but the art is identical to Astarita's signed stories in "Real Life Comics" #53, "Intimate Confessions" #5 and "Realistic Romances"#8 (IW-edition). Compare the faces, ears, eyes and hands, and also compare the signed Lee Ames "Dusty Rhodes" stories in "Fight Comics" #13 and #19. Faces, hands and "wet look" inking are all very different from this Astarita art.
