La

La is the immortal High Priestess of Opar, a lost city descended from ancient Atlantis hidden in the African jungle. Wielding mysterious powers tied to her sacred role, she rules over Opar's brutal Beastmen and harbors an obsessive devotion to Tarzan.

Silver Age mystery and ancient power converge in La, who made her comics debut in Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes #160 in 1966, brought to the page by the legendary creative team of Gaylord Du Bois and Russ Manning, adapting Edgar Rice Burroughs' iconic creation. She moves through the jungle world alongside Tarzan, John Clayton, Jane Porter, and Mugambi across titles like Tarzan: Love, Lies and the Lost City and Lord of the Jungle, a testament to her enduring place in the Burroughs comics universe spanning nearly five decades. With only a handful of catalog appearances, La carries the rare allure of a figure who looms larger than her page count — a character steeped in the exotic, lost-world atmosphere that made Burroughs' Africa so irresistible to generations of readers.
