Tarzan #63 - Russ Manning art

Tarzan #63

Tarzan v1 #63, 1954 - Their travel halted by warriors, the Brothers of the Spear unknowingly trespass onto the Obelo tribe's territory. Exotic costumes and rich foliage makes this Russ Manning effort more visually interesting. His layouts and sequences also continue to evolve and improve. In a separate tale, Tarzan and Boy aid a female explorer whose bearers turn on her and take her prisoner. This is Manning's first Tarzan story, just adequately drawn and composed. Note that he "borrows" the design for Tarzan's face (see interior page below) from Jesse Marsh, who regularly illustrates this golden age series. This is 25 of 133 Tarzan issues by Manning.
