Marvel Super Special #29

Edgar Rice Burroughs' most enduring jungle hero swings into this Marvel Super Special in fine style, with cover art by Charles Ren that places a muscular Tarzan gripping a vine above a dramatic tableau of great apes — one cradling a human infant — alongside a snarling lion, all set against a misty, primordial forest. The banner promising "The Life and Legend of Lord Greystoke" signals an epic scope, and the interior delivers with a creative team that includes writers Mark Evanier and Sharman Di Vono, artist Dan Spiegle, and colorist Jo Meugniot. For fans of adventure comics and Burroughs' beloved creation alike, this 1983 oversized format is a thoroughly compelling package.
