Kaänga

Kaänga was a White boy who was orphaned when his explorer family and other members of their expedition were slaughtered in the Congo. The boy, whose real name was never revealed, ran away. He was adopted by a local tribe of “ape-men.” They raised him to be one of their own. He forgot all he knew of the “White man’s ways and talk,” but sure enough, as an adult, he fell in love Ann Mason, who re-taught him English and helped him get in touch with her community of White settlers. Civilization, however, did not appeal to Kaänga, so he and Ann remained in the jungle, where they married and fought for good against everything from animal predators to dinosaurs to witch doctors to Nazis.
