Tarzan #212

Joe Kubert's cover for this September 1972 DC issue says everything you need to know about the Lord of the Jungle's raw power — Tarzan wrestles a massive, enraged rhinoceros through the jungle undergrowth, gripping the beast's horn with bare hands while it charges forward with terrifying momentum. The book-length feature promised inside, "The Captive!," suggests the stakes are every bit as intense as that fierce cover confrontation. Kubert's draftsmanship is on full display here, capturing muscle, motion, and danger in a way that makes this one of the more viscerally compelling entries in DC's Edgar Rice Burroughs series.
