Brothers of the Spear 1972 #2 - reader copy - $2.00

Dan-El and Natongo beat up on Nagopa and his henchmen.

As Chief Lugongo recalls the origin of the Brothers of the Spear, Nagopa the witch doctor, with the help of Mopo, attacks Dan-El, Natongo, Tavane, Zulena, and Kongoni. Dan-El, Natongo, and Colonel Mothibi chase Nagopa into the tunnels under Aba-Zulu where Nagopa traps them. Dan-El, Natongo, and Music-Maker plunge into a river and follow it into a cavern. After Colonel Mothibi reports to Tavane and Zulena that Dan-El and Natongo are lost, Nagopa plots to poison the pair and put Hanool's son on the throne but Dan-El and Natongo foil the plot with Nagopa and Colonel Gomo falling to their deaths.
