Tarzan #28

Perched atop a colossal dome high above a sprawling city skyline, Tarzan clutches a distressed blonde woman while a red biplane bears down on them from the left — a vertiginous, breathtaking image from cover penciler John Buscema and inker Bob McLeod that captures Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord utterly out of his element. The tagline "A Savage Against the City!" says it all: this 1979 Marvel issue drops the Lord of the Jungle into an urban arena where brute strength and instinct are his only advantages. With writer Bill Mantlo and artist Sal Buscema handling the interior, Tarzan Lord of the Jungle #28 promises high-altitude adventure that's hard to put down.
