Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #127

This December 1961 Dell issue sets the stage beautifully with George Wilson's lush painted cover, depicting Tarzan grappling with an armed sportsman amid dense jungle foliage while a large antelope and its young calf graze peacefully nearby — the very animals at the heart of the conflict. The tagline "A sportsman's trophy triggers jungle warfare!" perfectly captures the tension between a hunter's ambitions and the wild world Tarzan protects. With Gaylord Du Bois writing and Jesse Marsh on art, this issue delivers the kind of richly atmospheric adventure that made Dell's Tarzan one of the most satisfying jungle comics of its era.
