Jo-Jo, Congo King was a fictional character that appeared in comic books published by Fox Feature Syndicate. Jo-Jo first appeared in ''Jo-Jo, Congo King'' #7 (July 1947). Jo-Jo's name came from the original title of the comic series, ''Jo-Jo Comics.'' The publishers decided to change the format of the title, but kept the name for their new adventure hero. Jo-Jo was another in Fox Feature Syndicate's long line of Tarzanesque characters. Like Tarzan, Jo-Jo wore a loin-cloth, lived in the jungle, and spoke a form of broken English (similar to Johnny Weismuller's version of Tarzan). Some of the episodes were given credit of Stan Ford (a pseudonym). Jo-Jo's love interest in the first issue was Gwenna; she was replaced (never to be mentioned again) by Tanee. Both Gwenna and Tanee shared two things in common: they were scantily clad, and they spent a much of their time tied up. Because of the risque images found in the issues of ''Jo-Jo'', many of them provided by Jack Kamen and Matt Baker, Dr. Fredric Wertham mentioned issue #15 in his book ''Seduction of the Innocent.'' The last issue of ''Jo-Jo, Congo King'' was #29 (July 1949); the title was then changed to ''My Desire'' (a romance comic). Jo-Jo reappeared in 1950, now renamed Jungle Jo. This version ran for four issues. Fox Feature Syndicate declared bankruptcy in 1950, selling off many of its creative assets. Versions of Jo-Jo appeared in comics produced by various publishers. Star Comics reprinted several Jo-Jo stories under the name "Bombo", and Ajax Comics reprinted one story in 1954 with the character renamed "Kaza." ==References== * (Jo-Jo, Congo King at Don Markstein's Toonopedia ) * (Jo-Jo, Congo King at the Grand Comics Database ) * (Jo-Jo, Congo King at Oddball Comics ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jo-Jo, Congo King」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
