It's the weekend, so let's check out some Tarzan Sunday pages. This week, a super-rich bad guy learns a valuable life lesson. To wit: All the money in the world won't save you from an ass-kicking from The Apeman. What else d'you need to know? Well, it's Archie Goodwin & Gil Kane firing on all cylinders, so we're guaranteed a good time...
ERB! I was weaned on Burroughs. I cut my teeth on his father's blade. I learned to read from a Tarzan picture book when knee high, as did the orphaned boy did deep in the dark jungle.
ReplyDeleteCool.
Ladeies and gentlemen, Joe, Lord Of The Jungle! That's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteYou've hit gold, Pete, but is it bronze (age)? I never before saw these. When were they first published?

These are from 1978 / 1979, Chris. I've got six Goodwin / Kane stories ( which I think is all Gil did ), and if you scroll down to Tarzan on the list to the right, I've put three of these up in the past ( and obviously they're all as good as this one! )
DeleteI also have Manning dailies and Manning, Grell & Morrow Sundays BTW...
How have these not been published? Just about everything Tarzan that was any good at all was published a few years back -- these are well deserving. I'm polishing off some cops and robbers stuff right now, but I'm about to dive in deep to the lost city of the jungle genre. This is just getting me jazzed up for that.
ReplyDeleteRip Off
It's beyond me why this stuff isn't constantly in print, Rip, but then I think the same thing about Bellamy's Garth. Crazy. People would snap this up!
ReplyDeleteNot only the drawing is fantastic but also the stories are so good. And like someone Anonymous commented: I had never seen this before.
ReplyDeleteAs I've said before on here, Alex, if Archie Goodwin ever turned in a bad story, I've yet to read it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pete. I didn't know that Gil had done Tarzan. How have I managed to miss all the Kane goodies on the blog? Will rectify that shortly.
ReplyDeleteI'll do all of 'em as we go along, too. :)
