About the series

From 1954 to 1959, New Century Press brought Edgar Rice Burroughs' Lord of the Jungle to the comics page with Tarzan of the Apes, a 59-issue series that defined the character's visual legacy. Most often written by Don Garden and illustrated by the dynamic Burne Hogarth—whose iconic, muscular Tarzan set a new standard for adventure art—alongside John Celardo, the series expanded the ape-man's world with thrilling, jungle-bound exploits. It stands as a cornerstone of classic adventure comics, showcasing Hogarth's legendary storytelling and anatomical mastery in a run that remains a touchstone for Tarzan fans.
