Tarzan Extra #2/1972
"Apornas son" marks a rare, early European adaptation of Tarzan’s origin, rendered with striking clarity by Joe Kubert, who both wrote and illustrated this poignant tale. In this grounded, evocative story, Lord and Lady Greystoke are shipwrecked on an African shore, where their son is raised by apes after their tragic death—setting the stage for the legend to come. The cover by Joe Kubert captures the moment with haunting simplicity, a 1972 glimpse of a myth in the making.
In the heart of the African jungle, a young boy named Tarzan is raised by apes after his parents, John Clayton and Alice Clayton, perish following a shipwreck on a remote shore. Though born to nobility, his life unfolds among the wild, shaped by the ways of Kerchak and Kala, until the world beyond the trees begins to call.
