Celebrating one hundred years of Tarzan, Titan Books presents the only
official commemorative illustrated history of this worldwide phenomenon.
To celebrate the Lord of the Jungle's 100th birthday,
internationally-acclaimed Edgar Rice Burroughs expert Scott Tracy
Griffin presents the ultimate review of a century of Tarzan. Lavishly
illustrated and with fascinating insight into every element of
Burroughs' extraordinary legacy - from his first writings to the latest
stage musical - this is a visual treasure trove of classic comic strip,
cover art, movie stills, and rare ephemera.
From the first publication of the smash hit Tarzan of the Apes,
Burroughs' ape man captured the hearts and the imaginations of adults
and children across the globe, whether by written word, moving image,
comic strip or radio. Each of the 24 original novels and the many varied
appearances on stage, screen and in print receive a detailed
commentary, illustrated with some of the most evocative and beautiful
artworks, illustrations and photographs, many rarely seen in print
before.
With features on Korak, Jane, Tantor and Cheetah, plus
their innumerable friends, foes and exotic adventures, this is an
amazing collection of all things Tarzan and a vital addition to any
Tarzan-lover's library.
