Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #36

This Dell issue from 1952 features a striking photo cover with actor Lex Barker as Tarzan, spear in hand and crouching beside a great lion amid lush jungle foliage — a vivid reminder of how deeply the Lord of the Jungle had captured both comics and film audiences of the era. Inside, writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist/inker Jesse Marsh bring "Tarzan and the Threat of Athne" to life across a generous 52 pages. A solid dime bought readers quite a lot of jungle adventure with this one.
