Tarzan #4

Marvel's Tarzan: Lord of the Jungle hits a fever pitch in this 1977 issue, with John Buscema's cover artwork depicting the Ape Man locked in savage, knife-wielding combat against a massive black panther while simultaneously grappling with a spotted leopard — the bold tagline "Kreeg-Ah! Tarzan Kills!" leaving no doubt about the intensity of the struggle. Roy Thomas and John Buscema bring Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle lord to life with a story titled "A Beast Again," promising a tale as primal as the cover suggests. At just 30 cents, this is Bronze Age Marvel adventure at its most viscerally compelling.
