Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #55

This April 1954 Dell issue puts the Lord of the Jungle front and center in a raw, visceral struggle — Tarzan locks his powerful arms around a snarling, clawing leopard amid the dense jungle undergrowth, a knife at his hip his only backup. Morris Gollub's painted cover crackles with energy, capturing the sheer physical tension of man versus big cat in vivid, naturalistic color. With 52 pages of adventure inside — including "Tarzan and the Crossbows of Karfu" — this is Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero at his most untamed.
