Dark Horse Presents #23

Dark Horse Presents #23 brings "The Once and Future Tarzan" to its fifth chapter, with a cover by Thomas Yeates that crackles with pulp adventure energy — a bare-chested Tarzan surges forward through shallow water alongside a snarling lion, while a group of armed women, including a striking figure in blue wielding a blade at the top of stone steps, hold their ground behind him. The fallen soldiers at their feet suggest the battle has already been fierce. Rounding out this 2016 anthology package are Rich Woodall and Craig Rousseau's Kyrra: Alien Jungle Girl, Dean Motter's Mister X, and more — plenty of reasons to crack this one open.
