Ki-Gor

Ki-Gor the Jungle Lord began life as the son of a missionary. After the Wunguba tribe killed his father, the boy survived in the jungle with the help of his elephant friend, Marmo. Later, an American aviatrix named Helene Vaughn crashes her plane in Ki-Gor’s jungle. He rescues her, both from her plane wreckage and slavers, and slowly earns her trust. Eventually they get married. The couple discover the lost Egyptian city of Memphre, inhabited by pygmies and a chimpanzee army. Besides Helene, Ki-gor also had help from his best friend, Tembu George, leader of the Masai people, and N’Geeso, the leader of the the Kamazila pygmy tribe. Tembu George and N’Gesso would often argue with each other, but remained the best of friends.
