Russ Manning — Tarzan, Revisited
“Tarzan In Savage Pellucidar,” Graphic Novel, 1975
This beautiful Russ Manning splash page has never been published in the US, or in English at all, for that matter.
A foreign publisher hired Manning and his team to create a series of graphic albums for the European markets in the mid 70s. Manning, having beautifully illustrated the Tarzan comic strips, as well as some of the Gold Key comics, was a perfect choice.
A few years back, Dark Horse reprinted two of those graphic albums, but I assume sales were not significant to continue. (Unless it simply fell through the cracks. Not a likely scenario, but it does happen occasionally.)
Another original art page from this story appeared in auction last year, and it too is a beauty.
I would really love to see the whole thing. I haven’t been able to find a foreign edition. But I will, eventually. Trust me on this.
