Behind the Scenes

  • No official credits were given when this story was first published, but the text Ö.13 on the first page indicates that it is the 13th story drawn by Özcan Eralp. This practice of indicating the creators by initials and a serial number on the first page is still used on some comic strips produced in Sweden, but was abandoned rather quickly for "The Phantom".
  • This story is in part a remake of an old Falk & McCoy story ("The Ape Idol of the Durugu"), but also a sequel to a Falk & Barry story ("The Jungle Home") and also introduces important Team Fantomen elements such as Rodia and the Stevens family. No writer is credited for this work.
  • The tribe that worships an ape idol are called Duguru, and not Durugu as in the original story.
