Tarzan #19

Part three of four in the gripping "Tarzan vs. the Moon Men" arc finds Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord in dire straits — shackled in chains within a grim stone dungeon, muscles straining against his bonds as a massive, snarling great ape looms over him with claws outstretched. John Totleben's painted cover work renders both figures with visceral intensity, the shadowy beast and the defiant, near-helpless Tarzan locked in a moment of raw, primal tension. With skulls lurking in the background and the four-part story building toward its conclusion, this 1998 Dark Horse issue promises the kind of pulp adventure that made Burroughs' creation endure across generations.
