The Tarzan Comics Library #2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the classic Tarzan storyline 'The Jewels of Opar,' originally serialized in newspaper strips. It features the Lord of the Jungle's adventures in the lost city of Opar, a recurring setting in Edgar Rice Burroughs' original novels, adapted into comic form. The collection is part of Dark Horse's Tarzan Comics Library series, which reprints vintage Tarzan newspaper strips from the 1930s and 1940s.
In "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar," Tarzan, injured and stripped of his memory after plundering gold from the lost city, is manipulated by Werper, who steals his pouch of jewels. With Tarzan believed dead, the Waziri set out to rescue Jane Clayton, captured by Achmet Zek, while Tarzan, freed from the Beast-Men of Opar, claims La as his leader and begins a desperate search for his stolen "pretty pebbles."
In "Fight for the Treasure," Tarzan ventures into the wild heart of the jungle to rescue Werper and then Jane Clayton from a perilous trap. As the duo flees, Werper betrays them, stealing the fabled Jewels of Opar in a desperate bid for survival. Tarzan and Jane press on, unaware of the deadly fate awaiting the thief, whose bones will one day yield the treasure Tarzan seeks.
