Description

After over a hundred years as a media star, Tarzan of the Apes is still one of the most misunderstood of modern myths. Illustrated by Thomas Yeates, and edited by Richard A. Lupoff, this book reveals the real Tarzan, as created by novelist Edgar Rice Burroughs: savage ape-man, secret agent, science fiction adventurer, paranormal investigator, RAF Officer, family Man, Viscount, and immortal. An archetype totally adaptable to the 21st century and beyond. 'Who Is Tarzan?' also examines the Ape-Man in connection to ancient mythology, and later legends and cultural trends. Parts 2, 3 and 4 of 'Who Is Tarzan?' follow six great Tarzan comics artists and their individual styles of representing the ape-man.: Hal Foster, Burne Hogarth, Jesse Marsh, Russ Manning, Joe Kubert, and now, in our time, Thomas Yeates.
