Phantom In the 'Mysterious' Kula-Ku : The Dreaded Land of Queen Karola!!

Friends,let's meet a Queen,whom some people called Witch , Karola,the queen of Kula-Ku!!!!

Our 21st Phantom's ancestors had aware of that Mysterious place ,but never visited !Oneday when he (our Phantom) browsed Skull-cave's Chronicles,suddenly read a para,where 18th Phantom wrote :"I heard the tales of a tyrant Queen,called Witch of Kula-Ku,who took her captives with SNARES OF SMOKE"!!Unable to find any more info over Kula-Ku,Phantom decided to visit the place by himself!! It has been said that,one has to cross the River Of Fire to reach that land!That river is filled with melted-n-boiling lava,which can destroy anything and everything!How
Phantom crossed that deadly-path (with Hero n Devil) ,is itself a thrilling tale!
When this legendary saviour reached the valley-of Kula-Ku,he was amazed and at the same time horrified to find that ,EVERY living-things is apparently dead!!!! He utters "Is it some kind of Epidemic????"
However ,he had been trapped as like other captives in that Snares of Smoke and brought in front of the Queen!!

Thus,as a result , a much-awaited introduction happened at last,finally Phantom meets the Queen of Kula-ku,Karola!!It's said that,Karola married many times and every time when she bored with her husbands....just killed and then stuffed them!!

After the meeting with Phantom,,like ALL other beauties on earth,Karola too wanted him as her new husband,even promise to share throne!! Being a born witty he's,Phantom asked her "..And wind up stuffed like him (her one former husband,a warrior),when you get bored"!!!

Overall,it's a fascinating tale,(Originally a 1976-strip: D130 and published in Indrajal Comics as 'The River of Fire/Pisachini':#279/280) from it's very beginning ,specially it's quite amazing the way Phantom had saved himself with many people enslaved in that dreaded valley of sleeping smoke !!
Finally ,the mystery of Kula-Ku was unfolded!!

P.S.- Phantom had to visit Kula-ku again ,after his marriage and birth of the twin,but that's a different story.....
