With superhuman powers and two panther companions, she protects her people and the jungle itself, as she has for centuries. Salimba encounters a cursed pirate crew and its handsome leader. Then she pursues a zombie gorilla to the castle of the Dogwoman, a powerful magical entity, and learns that the demon-creature wants her heart. But the secret of the bizarre, snake-like Wormboy is even more bizarre. Featuring early art by Paul Chadwick, already well-known for Concrete – in fact, he gets first billing on the cover. Pirate's Heart!; Salimba; Wormboy Heaven. 76 pages, 7-in x 10-in., B&W. Cover price $3.50.
