Jungle Comics was first published by Fiction House in January, 1940. It enjoyed a long run finishing at issue #163 in Summer, 1954.

The main character associated with the title is Kaänga. He appeared in every issue of Jungle Comics. The original artist who worked on Kaanga is believed to have been Alex Blum but as he is so heavily and obviously based on Tarzan, no one can be credited for his creation.

When Kaanga was a child his parents died in the jungle and he was raised by apes. The reader never gets to know his real name or his ancestry, but the jungle is where Kaänga feels most at home. In the first issue Kaanga meets his mate Ann, who is a Jane clone, after he rescues her from a white slave trader named Bill Blackton. Ann then joins Kaänga in his jungle existence.

After nearly ten years Kaänga was given his own title in Spring, 1949. This ran for 20 issues until the Summer of 1954.
