About the series
From 1974 to 1975, DC Comics published seven issues of Rima, the Jungle Girl, a short-lived series that adapted W. H. Hudson's classic novel character into a comic book setting. Written primarily by Robert Kanigher and Henry Boltinoff, with striking artwork by Joe Kubert and Nestor Redondo, the series follows Rima, a feral yet noble jungle heroine, as she protects the South American wilderness from human encroachment and danger. Though brief, the title stands as a notable example of DC's early 1970s experimentation with literary adaptations and ecological themes, showcasing lush, atmospheric visuals from its acclaimed artistic team.
