Jungle Jim #15

In "The Jaina," Jungle Jim steps up when malaria fells Tom Griffin, taking charge of the payroll run through dangerous terrain. When the revered bull elephant Taw-Sin, driven by seasonal madness, abandons the caravan and later returns to save the group from dacoit raiders, Jim must navigate the volatile situation—especially as Griffin, still recovering, warns that Taw-Sin’s temper remains unpredictable. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and illustrated with vivid energy, this 1958 adventure captures the raw tension of survival in the wild, with Morris Gollub’s dynamic cover capturing the moment of Taw-Sin’s thunderous charge.
