Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #118

From the rocky heights of a jungle valley, Tarzan crouches alertly alongside a younger companion, both armed with blades as a large gathering of warriors fills the village below — this Dell cover by George Wilson captures the tension of two figures poised on the edge of action beautifully. The cover blurb promises that Tarzan and the Waziri face off against the warriors of the Walled Valley, and Wilson's richly painted style gives the scene a vivid, almost cinematic weight fitting for 1960. With interior work by the long-running creative team of Gaylord Du Bois and Jesse Marsh, this issue delivers the kind of jungle adventure that made Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation such a reliable treat for Dell readers.
