Tarzan #224

Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' enduring creation, this October 1973 DC issue drops Tarzan into a genuinely chilling predicament — shackled in chains, surrounded by a field of skulls, and flanked by enormous grasping hands that dwarf even the Lord of the Jungle's formidable frame. Joe Kubert both writes and draws this one, bringing his characteristically raw, muscular linework to a cover that radiates menace and defiance in equal measure. The story title "Death Is My Brother!" promises the kind of primal danger that makes Tarzan's survival instincts feel utterly essential.
