In Action Comics #248 (January, 1959), Congo Bill's old friend, Chief Kawalo, was killed in a fall from a cliff, despite Bill's best effort to save him. As he lay dying, Kawalo, who also functioned as his tribe's witch doctor, gave Bill his most precious possession a ring with an image of a gorilla carved on it. By rubbing the ring, Kawalo told Bill, the wearer could switch minds with a gorilla (for one hour) who lived in the neighbourhood, and who wore a similar ring, for one hour. The gorilla was distinguishable from others of his species by a unique gold-coloured fur.
