"Giants from the Mist," script by Gaylord Du Bois, art by Sparky Moore; Korak and N'kima take a canoe by river to investigate a strange tale of giant frogs; As they near the village, Korak spies a leopard about to spring onto a white baby on the shore; He spears the cat through the heart just in time, just as its parents, a missionary couple, run up to find the boy; They take Korak back to their home for some hospitality, and explain that the villagers, guided by the witch-doctor, are going to sacrifice a goat to the giant frog that very night; Korak finds a comfy spot in a high tree to observe the frog; Meanwhile Nkima teases baby Carl back out into the jungle yet again, and down to the falls where the sacrifice is being made; The two wander out onto a slippery log overhanging the waterfalls when Korak spies them; He manages to save the baby, but Nkima falls, and the giant frog waiting below immediately licks the monkey up with his tongue; Korak spears the frog through the heart, and dives into the falls after it; He has to drag the massive corpse onto a rock, where he frees the monkey, trapped inside the gullet.
