Illustrated Tarzan Book

Grosset and Dunlap’s Illustrated Tarzan Book (1934–present) is a single-issue comic adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’s jungle hero, distinguished by the lush, pioneering artwork of Hal Foster. With scripts by Burroughs and R. W. Palmer, this oversized volume adapts the first Tarzan novel in a lavish, full-color format that helped define the look of the character for generations. It stands as a landmark in early comic-book publishing, showcasing Foster’s narrative flair and the raw, romantic energy of Burroughs’s original vision.
