Tarzan of the Apes #161 - Russ Manning art

Tarzan of the Apes #161

Tarzan (of the Apes) v1 #161, 1966 - Still suffering from amnesia, Tarzam searches for his kidnapped wife and a pouch of precious gems. In this final installment of The Jewels of Opar, the drawings appear more detailed and the layouts more dynamic. Russ Manning's foliage is varied and pervasive, reinforcing the exotic setting. Most noteworthy is page 11, where he employs simple black and white imagery to convey Tarzan's lost memories. This story was later reprinted in Golden Comic Digest #9.  In addition to the Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation, Manning also delivers a short Brothers of the Spear Tale nearly equal in quality. Other artists in this silver age adventure comic include Nat Edson. Cover by George Wilson. This is 123 of 133 Tarzan issues by Manning.
