Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #8

Straight from the pages of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle world, this 1949 Dell issue promises adventure with "The White Pygmies" as Tarzan stands at the center of a lush, tropical cover painted by Morris Gollub — a young chimpanzee cradled in his arms, a colorful macaw perched on his shoulder, and a magnificent leopard resting its head in his outstretched hand. The composition captures everything that makes Burroughs' Lord of the Jungle so compelling: not a conqueror of wild animals, but a man completely at home among them. Gaylord Du Bois and Jesse Marsh bring the interior story to life, making this a fine example of Dell's confident, warm-hearted approach to one of literature's great adventure heroes.
