In the late 1940s, Dell Publishing assembled a new comics team that would leave an indelible impression on millions of young readers. For the next nineteen years, Jesse Marsh - an "artist's artist" - and Gaylord DuBois created an absorbing jungle world for Edgar Rice Burroughs's most famous character. The realism and consistent quality in their collaboration remain influential to countless comics artists today.

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Hard as it may be to believe in an era when gaudily costumed superheroes dominate comic books, back in the 1950s one of the best-selling comics featured the minimally garbed Tarzan of the Apes. In these six 1950–51 issues, he faces perils ranging from a tribe of Amazon warriors to dinosaurs out of the Stone Age. The stories are solidly entertaining, but the reason these vintage tales are being revived nearly six decades later is the starkly powerful artwork of Jesse Marsh, who’s lauded by veteran comics artist Richard Corben in the volume’s introduction for his “economy of mass, line, and texture” as well as his “confidence and skill.” --Gordon Flagg
