Jungle Jim

In 1948, Better Publications of Canada launched Jungle Jim, a short-lived two-issue comic series adapting the classic newspaper adventure strip. Most associated with artist Paul Norris, whose dynamic jungle scenes defined the look, the series dropped readers into the exotic, perilous world of its titular explorer. Though brief, it stands as a modest but authentic piece of mid-century Canadian comics publishing, capturing the era's appetite for pulp-style adventure.
