First appearing in comics in 1952 and on film in Columbia Pictures serial 'King of the Congo' starring Buster Crabbe. Thun'da was a fictional Tarzan-esque character scripted by Gardner Fox and originally created by artist Frank Frazetta, who left after the first issue and was replaced with Bob Powell for issue #2 who carried on the title until its demise after issue #6. Thun'da was Roger Drum, a World War II United States Air Force officer who was shot down while flying over a valley deep in the heart of Africa. He was captured by hostile ape-men but managed to escape and wandered through the valley, pushing his exercise daily to become a paragon of physical perfection with the help of Pha, the queen of the valley people, who worshipped him after he killed 'the mother of all serpents' with his last three bullets. Collects Thun'da, King of the Congo #2-6 (1952-1953).
