THE JUNGLE GIRL TEAM

WRITER Martin Powell

Martin Powell has written hundreds of stories in numerous genres for Disney, Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and Capstone Books, among others. Nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award for his work with Sherlock Holmes, Powell is the author of many of the most popular characters in the industry, including Superman, Batman, Popeye the Sailor, Dracula, Frankenstein, and Tarzan of the Apes.

Currently, as the author of almost a dozen different ERB online comic strips, and the critically acclaimed Jungle Tales of Tarzan graphic novel from Dark Horse, it is probable that Powell has written more Burroughs characters than any other contemporary writer. Powell received the coveted Golden Lion Award from the Burroughs Bibliophiles in 2017 for his on-going contributions to the legacy of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Visit Martin Powell on Facebook and Amazon.

ARTIST Arianna Farricella

Arianna Farricella is an Italian comic artist who was born in Modena, and lives and works in Bologna. Arianna graduated from the Fine Art Academy of Bologna and works in Studio Inventario. Recently, she worked as colorist for the French publishers Dargaud and Rackham Editions.

Archaeologists in Cambodia find vast medieval cities under jungle

Posted on June 12, 2016

Angkor-Wat-008 Edgar Rice Burroughs (r) is once again proven to be prescient with his novel “Land of The Hidden Men” also known as “Jungle Girl”. He knew the cities were there. It took scientists another 100 years to confirm it.

Researchers have discovered a vast network of hidden cities laying deep under the lush Cambodian jungle near the medieval mega-city of Angkor Wat, in “groundbreaking discoveries that promise to upend key assumptions about south-east Asia’s history,” the Guardian reported in an exclusive on Friday.

Jungle Girl to take on new artist, Nik Poliwko, and farewell to Will and Jo Meugniot

Posted on May 11, 2015

Change is coming to the Jungle!

(May 8, 2015 – Tarzana, CA) As of episode #31 our Jungle Girl feature will be drawn by War Chief’s own Nik Poliwko. Our current art team of Will and Jo Meugniot have decided to actively pursue their retirement and realized having a regular weekly assignment was interfering with their travel plans. Per Will, “Drawing Jungle Girl for the great people at ERB was a dream come true, but I’ve been concerned that I couldn’t continue delivering the strip at its current quality and find time for the outside pursuits I’ve wanted to take up in retirement. It’s been a relief that Nik, who is one of my favorite Burroughs artists, is willing to pick up the reins. As a fan of Martin’s writing and Nik’s visual storytelling, I look forward to seeing what comes next in the lives of Gordon and Fou-Tan, and trust you’ll all join me in my enjoyment of the continuing adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Jungle Girl.”

They will be missed! We are excited to continue this wonderful story with Martin Powell, writing, and Nik Poliwko as our artist. Nik is the current artist for The War Chief and also the Editor or our special FB page for ERB web comics www.facebook.com/groups/ERB.Online.Strips/ jungle girl web comic

Launching all new web comic Jungle Girl in English and Spanish

Posted on October 20, 2014

The Master of Adventure is at it again! Edgar Rice Burroughs’ “Jungle Girl” An All-New Digital WebComic Launch!

(October, 18 2014 – Tarzana, CA) I promised to take my lord to the jungle,” replied the Cambodian. “There it is. I did not promise to enter it.” And at that moment Gordon King made a fateful decision. “Wait for me here, then,” he said. “I shall be out before dark.” “You will never come out,” said the Cambodian.

Deep in the jungle, King falls, breaks his compass and becomes hopelessly lost. On the eighth morning, as a fever overtakes King, he has hallucinations. Or so he believes when he encounters sad-faced queens on ghostly elephants in the dark shadows of the jungle where the ruins of their ancient cities still stand. Then, someone rescues him. Or so he dreams.

Adventure in a lost city of a secret kingdom awaits King – an American student of medicine, who came to the jungle to study strange maladies and, once there, becomes an explorer who stumbles upon the many thousand year-old secret of THE LAND OF THE HIDDEN MEN.

Asia, this vast continent of ancient civilizations and mysterious peoples, has many corners little known to the rest of the world. To survive in this ancient land, Gordon King must combat the warriors of the lost city of Pnom Dhek and battle the loathsome Leper King of Lodidhapura for the love of the beautiful jungle princess, Fou-tan.

Is the legend true, that while he can escape tigers and wild elephants, no man may look upon the ghost of the dead Khmer ancients and live? The young American soon finds that a courageous man might easily enter the treacherous depths of the jungle, but it is quite another matter as to whether he might ever come out again, alive.
