Kaänga

Golden Age Origin
Käanga is a white boy who is orphaned when his explorer family and other members of their expedition are slaughtered in the Congo. The boy, whose real name is never revealed, runs away and is adopted by a local tribe of “ape-men.” They raise him to be one of their own, and he grows up to be one of them, forgetting all he knew of the “white man’s ways and talk.” Sure enough, of course, as an adult he gets involved with some men who re-teach him English. He falls in love with one of them, Ann Mason, and the pair marry and live, Tarzan-and-Jane-like, in the jungle, fighting for good against everything from bad animals to dinosaurs to witch doctors to Germans.
