Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #87

Dell's long-running adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord delivers another December 1956 adventure with a striking photo cover — a powerfully built Tarzan crouches low against a massive tree trunk, alert and watchful, every muscle coiled as though the forest itself has his attention. It's a vivid reminder of why this series captured readers' imaginations, grounding the wild-raised hero in something tangible and immediate. Inside, writer Gaylord Du Bois and artist Russ Manning bring their own considerable talents to "The Messenger from Jorah," a fine pairing of adventure storytelling and confident linework.
