Rima, the Jungle Girl appeared in comic books published by DC Comics in the early 1970’s. Although, she originally appeared in a novel back in 1904 – before the publication of Tarzan!

A more modern version of the Jungle Goddess is Jana Sky-Born, she lives on an island filled with dangerous creatures and dinosaurs. Adapting the name Jungle Girl, Jana has honed her natural abilities to a far greater extant than any other female to protect the land she loves.

There are many other Jungle Girls such as Sheena, Camilla, Fantomah and Ann Mason to name just a few. Besides the similar locations, plots and artwork – one constant stands out in jungle girls – making them quite recognizable to the world of pin-ups – and that is that the females are always scantily clad, in jungle versions of the bikini or similar garb.

In the depths of the African jungle, passion and terror mate! Unaware that the man’s popular “true adventures” were pure pulp fiction, Bob Lake’s publisher sent him on a safari into Africa. When the plane crashes in an unexplored region of the jungle, death lingers at every hand, from savage beasts to primitive natives — all determined to ravish the white invaders!

Originally published as Jungle Nymph and later in a somewhat altered form as Jungle Goddess, here is the author’s preferred text, complete with new, fresh material written especially for this edition.
