Book Description

Series: Dark Horse Comics Collection | Publication Date: November 4, 1997

In the center of the earth lies Pellucidar, the last bastion of primeval forest in the world. To Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, this is sacred ground. But to the Predators, it is hunting ground. Dark Horse Comics is proud to present Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan vs. Predator at the Earth's Core, by Walter Simonson and Lee Weeks. When Tarzan receives word that Pellucidar's greatest warriors and strongest beasts are being killed and his friend David Innes, ruler of Pellucidar, has gone missing, there is no question that he must travel to the earth's core to investigate. The people of Pellucidar rest a little easier, knowing that their protector is coming. And in this land of eternal noonday sun, the Predators rest up for their greatest challenge yet! Walter Simonson is one of the greatest writers working in comics today; Lee Weeks is one of the most skilled artists in the field. Only two such talented creators could bring together the pulp legend of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and the cinematic horror of the Predators. You'll feel the heat of the jungle in this 104-page graphic novel!

The difficulty in writing a good Tarzan story is in finding a foe worthy of the Ape Man. The alien Predators and the mind-bending Mahars of Pellucidar are definitely up to the job. This is a tale of superheroics and Tarzan has never been more savage. Highly recommended.

This review is from: Tarzan vs. Predator: At the Earth's Core (Dark Horse Comics Collection) (Paperback)

I'm not too familiar with Burroughs' Tarzan work outside of the Movies and Comics, so the first half of this book had my mind swimming. There isn't enough recap for a Tarzan newbie like me; I bought it for the Predators, and, (sadly) they seem to be an afterthought in the plot. On the plus side, the book really picks up steam in the second half, and by the end I was totally engrossed.

Walt Simonson's story is pretty decent, as is Lee Weeks' art. Predator fans might be disappointed, but it's still entertaining.

Fans who enjoy this should check out Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Catwoman. Great stuff!

5.0 out of 5 stars TARZAN'S GREATEST CHALLENGE - PREDATOR!, August 27, 2004

I own all of these comics, and thought this was definately one of the best franchise fits that I've just about ever seen.

Great storyline, along with awesome artwork made this a major hit out of a huge fan of both franchises. A movie and/or animae would do this proud - and I'll bet - sell millions.

Great stuff!
