Tarzan #14

Marvel's 1978 adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero hits a fever pitch in issue #14, with a cover by John Buscema and Ernie Chan that throws Tarzan — knife raised, leopard-skin loincloth and all — into a savage brawl against two snarling ape-like creatures beneath a moonlit forest sky. The cover copy says it all: "The Fury of Fang and Claw!" and "A Battle to the Death!" frame a scene of pure, raw struggle that feels ripped straight from the primeval world Burroughs imagined. Inside, Roy Thomas scripts alongside the source material, with John Buscema's pencils and Klaus Janson's inks bringing "The Battle for the She-Ape!" to vivid life.
