“Origin of the Ape-Man, Book 3: A Mate for the Ape-Man”

Joe Kubert's cover for this third DC issue pulls you straight into the jungle with a rush of raw energy — Tarzan, knife in hand, charges alongside a snarling great ape as a frightened blonde woman is swept up in the chaos, all rendered in Kubert's bold, kinetic linework. Subtitled "Mate of the Ape-Man," this 52-page 1972 issue continues the origin arc of Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary wild man, with Kubert handling both the writing and art throughout. At 25 cents, it's a generous chunk of jungle adventure delivered with real craft.
