This was a big deal book for me. This comic book adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's first Tarzan novel might well be my first time experiencing the story. It would be a few years before I read the original novels. The sleek mastery of Russ Manning is on full-display in this brisk re-telling of the classic adventure romance. Mo Gollub is the artist responsible for this evocative cover. Later Gold Key would devote more issues to the ERB adaptations, but this debut only got one issue to cover the story. It worked for me then, and it still does today.
