Line 1: {{work}} '''Jungle Jim''' is the fictional hero of a series of jungle adventures in various media. The series began in 1934 as an American newspaper comic strip chronicling the adventures of Asia-based hunter Jim Bradley, who was nicknamed Jungle Jim. There were also radio, film, and television adaptations. Artist Alex Raymond and writer Don Moore created the original strip as a topper to run above Raymond's ''[[Flash Gordon (~~Comic~~comic ~~Strip~~strip)\|Flash Gordon]]''. ''Jungle Jim'' and ''Flash Gordon'' were launched simultaneously on January 7, 1934. Aside from Jim Bradley, characters included the large, strong native Kolu, and Lille DeVrille, a [[Femme Fatale]] introduced two years into the strip's run. The comic's early years generally featured stories revolving around pirates, slave traders and other common jungle invaders. As [[World War II]] approached, ''Jungle Jim'', like many other American comics, developed a wartime theme, in which Jim fought the Japanese, and it moved from its position as a topper strip to its own independent Sunday page. The strip ended in 1954. Line 10: However, probably the most famous incarnation of ''Jungle Jim'' to modern audiences is the series of 16 ''Jungle Jim'' films made by [[Columbia Pictures]] between 1948 and 1955, starring Johnny Weissmuller (a former big-screen [[Tarzan]]) as Jim. Weissmuller also starred as Jim in the single-season TV series that ran in 1955-56. {{tropelist}} ~~=== ''[[Jungle Jim]]'' contains examples of: ===~~ * [[Evil Poacher]]: Another common type of foe. * [[Femme Fatale]]: Lille DeVrille Line 18: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Radio Drama~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Newspaper Comics]]▼ [[Category:Radio]]▼ [[Category:Action Adventure Series]] [[Category:Films of the 1930s]]▼ [[Category:American Series]] ▲[[Category:Films of the 1930s]] [[Category:Films of the 1940s]] [[Category:Films of the 1950s]] [[Category:~~Jungle~~Live-Action ~~Jim~~TV of the 1950s]] [[Category:~~Comic~~Newspaper ~~Strip~~Comics]] ▲[[Category:Newspaper Comics of the 1930s]] [[Category:Newspaper Comics of the 1940s]] [[Category:Newspaper Comics of the 1950s]] ▲[[Category:Radio]] [[Category:Radio Drama]] [[Category:Radio of the 1930s]] [[Category:Toys of the 1950s]] [[Category:Film]] [[Category:TV Series]]
