He based Rima on a persistent South American legend about a lost tribe of white people who lived in the mountains. The novel was adapted into a film of the same name in 1959 in which actress Audrey Hepburn portrayed her. The film also starred Anthony Perkins and was directed by Mel Ferrer.

  • The series was a short-lived seven-issue comic book series Rima the Jungle Girl, published by DC Comics from May 1974 to May 1975.Which was an adaptation of the original novel until issue #4, then became original stories, picking up where the film left off..
  • Rima the Jungle Girl is published on a bi-monthly basis.
  • It was adapted by an uncredited writer. Starting with issue #5, DC writer-editor Robert Kanigher is given credit.
• Rima is not intended to be a Tarzan type character, rather she was intended to be portrayed as:
  • goddess of the forest
  • preserver of the forest
  • preserver of the animals
