Tarzan's Jungle Annual #4 - Russ Manning art

Tarzan's Jungle Annual #4

Tarzan's Jungle Annual v1 #4 / Dell Giant, 1955 - Attempting consistency, Russ Manning adheres to previous artist Jesse Marsh's rendition of Tarzan's face. It looks oddly out of place but with minimal distraction. Manning's two stories this issue are an improvement from previous attempts, although his page layouts still lack clarity. His art has a textured quality, especially on animals and backgrounds. His best works are the text illustrations for an African feast, amply-sized and impressively detailed.
