Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #4

This 1948 Dell issue brings Edgar Rice Burroughs's jungle lord to vivid life on a sunny yellow cover by Jesse Marsh, showing a confident, bare-chested Tarzan standing tall amid lush tropical foliage, a great lion resting behind him and a spotted cheetah at his side. A young boy crouches attentively at Tarzan's feet, hinting at the companionship at the heart of the featured story, "The Lone Hunter." At a dime a copy, this early Dell entry offered readers Gaylord Du Bois and Jesse Marsh's take on one of adventure fiction's most enduring figures.
