Tarzan #1
This French-language collection presents the first volume of Par Manning's Tarzan series, originally published by Soleil in 2010. It adapts Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic origin story, following the young Lord Greystoke as he is raised by apes in the African jungle and becomes the legendary Tarzan. The volume collects the opening chapters of Manning's faithful comic retelling of the iconic adventure.
In "Le Retour de Tarzan," Tarzan, cast adrift by Russian spies, returns to the African jungle where he rises as chief of the Waziri and uncovers the fabled city of Opar, plundering its hidden gold. When he learns that Jane Porter is stranded in the wild, he sets out to rescue her, leading to a reunion that rekindles their bond.
In "Tarzan et ses Fauves," Tarzan and Jane Clayton race to find their kidnapped son Jack, only to be captured by the ruthless Nikolas Rokoff. Stranded on a remote island, Tarzan rallies the jungle’s creatures and a loyal ally, Mugambi, to break free and track down Rokoff’s ship. There, he finds Jane holding off Rokoff’s men with nothing but a rifle, and with the help of his animal friends, he brings the villain’s reign to an end. Back in London, Tarzan reunites with Jack, who was safely hidden in an orphanage all along.
In "Le Fils de Tarzan," a young man raised in the wild discovers his father’s legacy when he ventures into the jungle, embracing the ways of the apes and forging a life beyond civilization. There, he rescues a girl who grows into a fierce companion, and when fate separates them, their bond leads them on a perilous journey to reunite—only to be saved by the very man they’ve never known.
