KING OF THE CONGO (1952) Columbia Pictures.
Based on the comic book character created earlier the same year by Frank Frazetta, who drew the entire first issue.
Art by Frank Frazetta. Script by Gardner Fox.
Frazetta was asked by the book's editor to remove the dinosaurs and other fantastic elements from the series. Frazetta refused and decided to focus on work outside of comics. Sadly, Thun'da then became just another Tarzan clone in a comics world chock full of them. With nothing to distinguish it from the competitors, including the actual Tarzan, the book didn't last too long after that.
The King of the Congo serial also eschewed the prehistoric world, and worked in a storyline about spies and hidden microfilm. Thun'da was Buster Crabbe's third role as a jungle hero, the others being Kaspa the Lion Man in King of the Jungle (1933), and Tarzan in the serial Tarzan the Fearless (also 1933). This was also the last serial Crabbe starred in, and was the last Tarzan-like serial film made.
