Tarzan #231 - Joe Kubert art & cover, Alex Nino art, Russ Manning reprint

Joe Kubert

2. Tarzan v1 #231, 1974 - Beginning his adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan and the Lion Man", Joe Kubert showcases beautifully executed drawings throughout, including two splashes and a double page spread. Sadly, his cover fails to meet that same standard. Alex Nino draws the Korak back-up tale, where the hero awakens an ancient slumberer in a metal pod. In one of his finest works, the artist animates swift figures against sharply textured backgrounds. Two scenes, one of Korak's discovery and the other featuring a giant shrew (see interior age below), are especially breathtaking. Rounding out the issue is a lengthy Russ Manning reprint, compiled from 1960s newspaper strips. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Carmine Infantino and Jack Sparling.
