COMICS, OLD-TIME RADIO and OTHER COOL STUFF: Random Thoughts about pre-digital Pop Culture, covering subjects such as pulp fiction, B-movies, comic strips, comic books and old-time radio. WRITTEN BY TIM DEFOREST. EDITED BY MELVIN THE VELOCIRAPTOR. New content published every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.
This is one of three Dell Comics adaptations of Jungle Book stories published between 1953 and '55. Four-Color #487 is based on "Mowgli's Brothers" and "Kaa's Hunting", #520 (this one) is based on "Tiger! Tiger!" (the story you describe) and "Letting In the Jungle", and #620 is based on "Red Dog" and "The King's Ankus" (reversing their original chronology). The word "faithful" is *slightly* stretching things, but as "classic comic" adaptations go they're pretty good, and you should certainly check them out.

Thanks for the information and the recommendation. I'll keep an eye out for affordable copies on Ebay.
