Tarzan #258

DC's long-running adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero reaches issue #258, and Alfredo Alcala's cover grabs attention immediately — Tarzan swings on a vine toward a glowing sacred gem while a terrified man below reaches up desperately, all looming in the shadow of a colossal jackal-headed idol. The cover copy poses the question directly: if the Ape Man seizes the sacred gem, will he too fall prey to the Jackal Giant's death grip? Inside, writer and inker Joe Kubert teams with artist Frank Thorne, colorist Tatjana Wood, and letterer John Costanza to bring "The Renegades" to life in this solid 1977 entry for fans of classic adventure comics.
