RUDYARD KIPLING’S MOWGLI: JUNGLE BOOK
The 1950s comic book adaptations
041: Volume 2, page 3

Messua’s husband is never given a name by Kipling, and in the books doesn’t come across as a particularly
sympathetic character. Kipling had used the name Purun in his Second Jungle Book story
The Miracle of Purun Bhagat, which may be the inspiration for its use here.
