All Star Adventure Comic #3, circa June 1960

Cover based on Yellow Claw #2, December 1956, by John Severin.

This issue reprints the entire main feature contents (sans text pieces) of Jann of the Jungle #8, November 1955 and Jann of the Jungle #9, January 1956. I believe it likewise reprints the complete Yellow Claw #1, October 1956, and Yellow Claw #2, December 1956, pending confirmation of a couple of the untitled stories.

(Yellow Claw #1, October 1956, TBC, Job Number K260, 5 pages)
Note: The Atlas Tales site identifies the story by job number, but lists it as being 6 pages. The GCD also lists it as 6 pages, and attributes a title to it [Trap For Jimmy Woo] without advising the job number. This title may be from a subsequent reprint in Giant-Size Master of Kung Fu #2, December 1974.

(Yellow Claw #2, December 1956)
