Superman / Tarzan: Sons of the Jungle

In 2002, Dark Horse Comics brought together two titans of pulp adventure in a single one-shot issue by writer Chuck Dixon and artist Carlos Meglia. This standalone story imagines a world where Kal-El's rocket crashed not in Kansas, but in the African jungle, where he is raised alongside Tarzan as a brother. The premise explores how their shared upbringing by apes might shape the Man of Steel into a very different kind of hero, blending the mythos of Edgar Rice Burroughs with that of the Last Son of Krypton. It's a fun, self-contained what-if that showcases Meglia's dynamic, expressive art and Dixon's knack for fast-paced, character-driven action.
