In January 1929, Hal Foster, creator of Prince Valiant, had his first published newspaper strip art with the debut of Tarzan, a comic that would produce more that ten thousand strips before switching to reprints in 1972. It was Foster who illustrated all 60 episodes of the strip's adaptation of Edgar Rice Burrough's seminal novel, Tarzan of the Apes. Now, LOAC Essentials brings you all of Foster's first comics work, reproduced from ERB's syndicate proofs. In addition, this book includes adaptations of The Return of Tarzan, Beasts of Tarzan, and Son of Tarzan, each drawn by Rex Maxon. Get ready for the first 300 daily Tarzan comics ever produced, all together in a single, affordable package!
LOAC Essentials reprints the daily newspaper strips that are essential to comics history, in a format that preserves as closely as possible the original reader experience. By reproducing the strips one per page in an oblong format, it allows us to have the experience of reading the comics one day at a time. Each volume contains seminal strips that are unique creations in their right and also contributed to the advancement of the medium, along with panel-by-panel annotations.
