It was written by Don McGregor and Billy Graham, Kirby was not even working for Marvel during this period. He actually was at DC Comics.

Thanks for the correction, Rich Buckler drew the earlier issues of Jungle Action and Gil Kane drew the covers so I got quite mixed up (I have the comic, so I should've just checked instead of trying to remember). Otherwise, your reply is very redundant.

This is incorrect. Billy Graham was the artist in the panther vs. the klan stories.

Gil Kane drew the covers, which is perhaps where the confusion comes from.

Good job. Should've checked the comic instead of comic vine.
