Origin[]
Jo-Jo the Congo King was a Tarzan imitator who, like the "King of Apes," would swing on vines, spoke broken English, and wore a leopard-skin loincloth.
He had many love interests: Gwenna, Geesha, Yolda, Safra, Tanee, and Mioa (who were all extremely similar).
His enemies included the Water Warriors and the Birdmen and his sidekick was Kuta.

Notes[]
- Many sites claim that Green's Congo King was a re-colored, re-printed, and re-named version of Jo-Jo however, Green's version debuted the year prior.
- After Fox Features became Hero Books, Jo-Jo was also quickly (but not immediately) re-named as "Jungle Jo."
