Indexer Notes

Artwork on the first page of this story has been crudely extended to fill the space of the indicia in the original printing. A circle with the words "Part II" has been removed from page 12. Bomba the Jungle Boy was based on series of boy’s adventure novels beginning in 1926 by written by Roy Rokwood and published by Stratemeyer Syndicate. It became a movie series starting in 1949 by Monogram Pictures.
