The Phantom 1962 #10 - 3.5 - $12.25

Joe Gagnon finds diamonds at the floor of a huge statue of Tuamotu, giant god of the Itongo. Driven away, he finds startlingly-tall circus performer Idaho, whom he disguises as Tuamotu so as to gain access to the diamonds and lead raids on the neighbors, until the Phantom fights Idaho and easily vanquishes him. Idaho reveals that his very size makes him weak... it's exhausting even to walk. The crooks go to jail, the Itongo restore their loot, the fight becomes a legend, and the statue lies ignored.

The three friends investigate a jungle legend of a fierce monster lurking in a cave, only to be taken by surprise themselves in a cliffhanger ending to Part I.

Brown hides in the restricted room where the Jungle Patrol's commander (the Phantom) leaves his written orders, hoping for a glimpse of the unknown commander. He falls asleep, and the Phantom orders him confined to barracks.
