Tarzan #24

Marvel's Tarzan #24 (May 1979) promises high-stakes jungle adventure right on its cover, where the Jungle Lord himself swings urgently through a moonlit forest, arm outstretched as if racing against time. The tagline says it all — "The Jungle Lord Returns… Too Late?" — while a split scene below shows a blonde woman in peril near a crumbling structure, with a rhinoceros and an overturned vehicle adding to the chaos. John Buscema and Bob McLeod deliver a cover that captures Tarzan's raw, kinetic energy and the desperate urgency that has made Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation so enduring.
