Tarzan #231

Tarzan #231 delivers a full 100 pages for just 60 cents, kicking off DC's adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' novel Tarzan and the Lion-Man with a cover that pulls no punches — Joe Kubert's artwork puts the Lord of the Jungle in a fierce, muscle-straining grapple with a spotted big cat, while riders on horseback charge dramatically through a dusty, amber-skied background. Thumbnail panels along the bottom tease additional features including Jungle Detective and Congo Bill, making this a genuinely packed 1974 package. Writer-artist Joe Kubert, with colors by Tatjana Wood, brings a raw, kinetic energy to the series that matches the wild heart of Burroughs' source material.
