Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #89

This 1957 Dell issue brings Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord to life through a striking photo cover, showing a bare-chested Tarzan seated cross-legged on a leopard skin, carefully working a knife against a stone while a dramatic tribal mask peers out from the thatched background behind him — all quiet focus and contained power. The mood is calm but charged, hinting at the craftsmanship and jungle savvy that define the character. Inside, Gaylord Du Bois and Russ Manning team up to tell "Tarzan and the Smoking Valley," a title that promises adventure in some untamed, mysterious corner of Africa.
