Tarzan #210 - Joe Kubert art & cover

Joe Kubert

Tarzan of the Apes v1 #210, 1972 - The four part origin of the ape-man concludes here, including Tarzan's first meeting with his friend Lieutenant D' Arnot. The cover, depicting the pair surrounded by tribesmen, is one of Joe Kubert's finest on the series to date despite all the competing graphics. The opening page is strangely bordered by animal icons, presumably to stage the setting in Africa but not necessary in my view. Some high points include not only the coverm but D'Arnot's tortured face on page 9 (click on inset above) and the 1930s-ish depiction of Jane on page 6. This story was later reprinted in Limited Collectors' Edition #C-22. This is 4 of 44 Tarzan issues by Kubert.
