Tarzan

Marvel’s 1977–1979 Tarzan series, running 29 issues, brought Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Lord of the Jungle into the House of Ideas with a lush, action-packed take on the classic character. Anchored by the storytelling of Roy Thomas, Bill Mantlo, and David Kraft, and vividly illustrated by the Buscema brothers—John and Sal—alongside inker Joe Sinnott, the series balanced jungle adventure with a respectful, sweeping pulp tone. It stands as a notable entry in Marvel’s 1970s line of licensed adaptations, offering a definitive comic-book vision of Tarzan during a fertile era for the publisher.
