Tarzan (Dell)

    (Dell, 1948-1962)
™ and ©1960 Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.
Continues in Tarzan (Gold Key) #132

A Tarzan series that was to span several decades began with Dell publishing Tarzan #1 in 1948. Thirteen years later, it would transition to Gold Key and finally to DC.

Dell’s run of Tarzan was probably the truest to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ original vision of the character. A white baby, raised by apes, Tarzan eventually became the jungle’s lord and protector. In this series, he had not yet met future love interest Jane, although he did have a kid sidekick, simply called “Boy.” For the most part, his adventures centered around fending off poachers, aiding friends in the jungle’s tribes, and stopping various plots launched by both white hunters and black tribesmen.

Many issues of this series included a backup storyline, “Brothers of the Spear,” a buddy-comic starring the white Dan-El (Daniel) and Natongo, a black. These two friends embarked on adventures exploring the mysterious jungle.
