Tarzan & Co #3/1972
In "Den lysande juvelen," Tarzan teams up with the stranded pilot Arthur as they journey toward civilization, only to stumble upon a hidden city ruled by the exiled Queen Elna. When a ruthless usurper named Nyra plots to steal a radiant jewel believed to hold ancient power, Tarzan, Elna, and the people of Kah are captured and sentenced to death—only for Tarzan to uncover the jewel’s true, deadly nature. Written by Don Garden and illustrated with bold, dynamic art by Burne Hogarth, this 1972 adventure blends jungle peril with a touch of science fiction, all rendered in striking detail on a cover by Hogarth.
In the heart of the jungle, Tarzan encounters Arthur, a downed pilot, as they journey toward safety. Along the way, they stumble upon a hidden city ruled by the treacherous Nyra, who has deposed Queen Elna. With the help of the court jester Saliki and the priest Kahs överstepräst, Tarzan must stop Nyra’s plan to steal a glowing jewel—its true danger hidden in a deadly radiation that could destroy them all.
In a hidden ravine, Tarzan encounters Don Macabre, a self-proclaimed ruler who commands a brutal regime from his jungle stronghold. When Tarzan objects to the harsh treatment of a young slave girl, he’s forced to face Don Macabre’s elite warriors in a deadly gladiatorial trial reminiscent of a matador’s duel. With Thaissa’s fate hanging in the balance, Tarzan must outwit and outfight his captors to free her and escape the tyrant’s grasp.
