"Unusual Tales", a series presenting Steve Ditko's comics from 1957 to 1959 that are in the public domain.
This is a short tale about Myron York, a zoo curator winding up a long round-the-world boat trip having trouble impressing the girl he's fallen in love with. Fortunately for him, fate intervenes and gives him a chance to show his prowess against an escaped tiger on the ship.
Some good Ditko artwork on the menacing tiger, and I also like several of the Traveler panels in this one, like the second panel of page three.
