Soft Cover. Condition: Poor. First Edition. ----------4 jungle adventure pulp magazines, standard pulp size. Each issue features a Ki-Gor novel by John Peter Drummond, and other jungle tales. All 4 magazines are COVERLESS, but the covers are replaced by color photos of excellent originals, and look great. George Gross is the likely cover artist. The spines show only the date and Jungle Stories in black lettering on plain white, and the back covers are plain white. A couple of the volumes have the wraparound color copy cover detached from the pulp body. Page 3-4 is missing from the Winter 1942 issue, but there is no story text absent. The set must be classified as poor due to having no original covers, but they are very attractive in appearance none the less, and all stories are intact.
