Tarzan of the Apes #164 - Russ Manning art

Tarzan of the Apes #164

Tarzan of the Apes v1 #164, 1967 - In this conclusion of Tarzan the Untamed, Tarzan searches for companions downed in an airplane crash. This leads to a hidden civilization of brutish but intelligent tamers of wild lions. Fanged and pointy-eared, the residents look a tad silly compared to Russ Manning's previous character designs. That aside, the artist deftly illustrates strangely exotic trees, animals and architecture. Like previous issues, this is a partial adaptation of an Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. Other artists in this silver age adventure comic include Tom Massey. Cover by George Wilson. This is 125 of 133 Tarzan issues by Manning.
