BONUS REVIEW by "Doc" Schaefer
 Respect to Dynamite for revisiting the classic black & white newspaper strip character. Also for having Paul Tobin take a refreshing look at the pith helmet wearing safari hunter. The only problem is that that classic character is no where to be found. What we are offered is a tie in to Flash Gordon which is inventive in it's own right, was not what I was hoping for. The shape changing occupant of the jungles of Arboria is a far cry from the African huntsmen locals call B'wana. An interesting concept just be aware it is Jungle Jim in name only. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
