Wild Boy

Origin

Wild Boy lives in the jungle alone with only a black leopard for a companion, however he is able to communicate and command most jungle animals save for snakes, lions, and ape, which from time to time give him some trouble.

However most of the danger he faces comes not from the jungle, but from Western intruders who come seeking diamonds, or trophies.

Wild Boy is aided in his adventures from time to time by local tribal youth Keeto.

Creators

Never called anything but Wild Boy, or given an origin, we can assume that he probably follows the prescribed formula of white boy lost in the jungle who makes good due to all the other “jungle lord” clichés used in this short lived early 50s jungle themed comic.

While Matt Baker did the covers, none of his art shows up between the covers.
