Volume 1 of The Adventures of Jungle Jim! The pulp era was full of jungle heroes. Jungle Jim is one of the unique ones. He wasn't a loincloth-clad wild man, but rather Jim Bradley, a resourceful hunter. This gave him a distinctive difference from your run-of-the-mill jungle man. Also, his stomping grounds were located in exotic southeastern Asia. Described as a "gentleman adventurer, a true friend of all good men and relentless enemy of all bad ones, no matter what their race or creed may be," Jim was joined by his faithful aide, Kolu, a powerful Hindu giant.
