Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #22

This July 1951 Dell issue features a striking photo cover of Lex Barker as Tarzan, the muscular Lord of the Jungle cradling a wide-eyed lion cub with an easy, confident calm that perfectly captures the character's legendary bond with wild creatures. Inside, Gaylord Du Bois and Jesse Marsh deliver 52 pages of all-comics adventure with "Tarzan and the Winged Terror," promising the kind of pulse-quickening jungle storytelling that made this series a staple of early 1950s comics. A wonderful snapshot of an era when Hollywood and the funny pages happily joined forces.
