Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #123
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeDell's April 1961 adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord finds Tarzan crouched at the river's edge, bow drawn taut, flanked by great apes and a watchful black panther as a red-sailed boat carrying armed, banner-bearing warriors glides into range on the water beyond. The cover tagline — "The monkeys and the great apes join Tarzan in a hunt for an escaped tyrant!" — sets the stage for "The Tyrant of Munyoro," with George Wilson's richly painted cover capturing both the lush tropical atmosphere and the tense standoff beautifully. With writing by Gaylord Du Bois and interior art by Jesse Marsh, this is a fine example of Dell's Tarzan line at its most visually compelling.

Chief Muviro's grandson, Dombie, has run away from home. Boy, the son of Tarzan, traces the boy to a village led by Chief Kisumu, who in turn is controlled by witch doctor Kururi. They both deny any involvement, but they are secretly holding Dombie, planning to sell him to Muviro's enemies. Kururi tries to scare Boy off with tales of the ghost of Makuru, who haunts the village at night in the form of a lion. But Boy does not scare so easily. The witch doctor attracts a lion with some goat's blood, but Tarzan's tame lion Jad-Bal-Ja chases the wild lion off. Tarzan and his son free Dombie.
