Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes #199

In "The King Vulture," Tarzan faces a deadly trial set by the blind king Mosapa, who demands the ape-man prove his worth by slaying a fearsome king vulture with one arrow—before being allowed to cure him. Written by Gaylord Du Bois and brought to life with dynamic art by Paul Norris and inks by Mike Royer, this 1971 Western Comics adventure blends jungle peril with a test of skill and compassion. The cover, by George Wilson, captures the moment of tension as Tarzan draws his bow against the shadowed bird of ill omen.
