Not Naked Enough?

Not Naked Enough?

Normally, I’d be in San Diego this week for Comic-Con International. But because of Covid-19, the con is strictly digital and therefore open to everyone. Check it out!

Comic-Con Digital Panels July 22-26.

I’m doing my own little celebration of comics this week. We start out today with some jungle comics fun. More genres to follow during the week!

Art by Jack Kamen? from Jo-Jo Congo King #28, June 1949.
