The Adventures of Jungle Jim

Volume 1

Beginning with Tarzan, the pulp era was full of jungle heroes. Jungle Jim is one of the unique ones. He wasn’t a barely-literate loincloth-clad tree-dwelling wild man, but rather Jim Bradley, a “great white hunter” in the mold of heroes of earlier popular fiction such as H. Rider Haggard's Allan Quatermain and Lord John Roxton from Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World, who represented the colonial view of the so-called primitive regions of the globe. This gave him a distinctive difference from your run-of-the-mill jungle man, who often knew little about civilization and was equipped with not much more than a knife in most cases. Also, his stomping grounds were located in exotic southeastern Asia.

Produced by Jay Clark and often written by Gene Stafford, The Adventures of Jungle Jim was on the air weekly from 1935 to 1954, with announcer Glenn Riggs (among others). The show brought listeners tales of slave traders, pirates, foreign spies, wild beasts, poachers, hostile tribes, and, during World War II, the Japanese, as Jim often served as an Allied operative. Intended for a general audience, the series' storylines are richer than the usual juvenile radio fare. Each exciting fifteen minutes episode opened with a section of the William Tell overture.

Matt Crowley originated the role, with Gerald Mohr, who had a long career in radio, film and television, taking over in 1938. Joined by his faithful aide, Kolu, a powerful Hindu giant (played by Juano Hernandez), Jungle Jim often encountered “Shanghai” Lille DeVrille (played by Vicki Vola and France Hale), who served as Jim’s femme fatale.

Described as a “gentleman adventurer, a true friend of all good men and relentless enemy of all bad ones, no matter what their race or creed may be”, Jungle Jim was so popular that in addition to his radio show, he also starred in film, comic books, comic strips and even television adaptations, portrayed notably by Johnny Weismuller in his post-Tarzan days.

This volume contains the first 40 fifteen minute episodes of The Adventures of Jungle Jim. Episodes #1 to #22 are “The Bat Woman” and episodes #23 to #40 comprise the first 18 exciting episodes of “The Purple Triangle.”

An action packed radio serial.......	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Richard McLeod from RIVERSIDE, CA United States

Jungle Jim is a name well remembered by most people born in the 1930's through the 1950's. It was second probably only to Tarzan. In listening to the program today it evokes many fond memories and holds up well for both adults and children. The Radio Archives staff has restored these very old radio programs back to a level of clarity in sound and tonal quality that would be comparable to when the show initially aired on radio. You won't find any available today clearer in sound and tonal quality outside of what is sold through Radio Archives. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The best radio serial ever!	May 25, 2022
Reviewer: Thomas Kokenge from Milwaukee, WI United States

I am on set number 8 of this amazing radio serial and it just keeps getting better and better. It really is an adult radio adventure serial. My only regret is that with set # 9 the adventure stops as far as available shows are concerned. If you have been sitting on the fence about listening to this series I strongly suggest that you jump off and into the world of Jungle Jim Bradly. You will thank me later!
