Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #128

Dell's Tarzan #128 from February 1962 brings the Ape Man face-to-face with one of the jungle's most dangerous predators — the cover by George Wilson places a muscular Tarzan gripping a vine while a spotted leopard looms on the rocky outcrop directly above him, every sinew taut with the tension of the encounter. Wilson's lush, naturalistic painting captures the dense tropical foliage and the raw physicality that has always defined Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation so vividly. Inside, writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist Jesse Marsh deliver "The Shadow of Guilt," making this a fine example of the creative team that defined Dell's long-running Tarzan series.
