Illustrated Tarzan Book

Edgar Rice Burroughs’s iconic jungle lord made a striking leap into the comics medium with this 1929 hardcover from Grosset and Dunlap, a single oversized issue that pairs Burroughs’s original prose with Hal Foster’s lush, cinematic illustrations. Though brief, the book stands as a landmark in adventure comics, showcasing Foster’s masterful draftsmanship and his early interpretation of Tarzan’s world before his legendary run on the daily strip. It remains a cherished artifact for fans of classic heroics and sequential art.
