[QUOTE="CarlZog, post: 2682106, member: 11716"] I became a Tarzan junkie at a very early age. I don't even remember what originally drew me to it, but I'd read 'em all by the time I was 12. The phenomenon worried my mother a bit, accompanied as it was by the need to climb to the very tops of all the biggest trees I could find. Tarzan lead to John Carter and to Carson of Venus and then to ERB's other novels. He was easy to find on the bookshelves in the '70s, and I had it all. One of my biggest regrets is selling all my paperbacks in the mid-90s during a move. ( I figured, you can always get another paperback....arrgghh!) I remember the cartoon, but didn't watch it much. I did watch Ron Ely's live-action show in the early '70s, and, yes, it was incrdibly cheesy. My favorite artistic depictions of Tarzan are Joe Kubert's comics for DC. He did a large-format verson of the Return of Tarzan that hewed very closely to the book, and was incredibly powerful. Thankfully, I still have that. By the way, Dark Horse Comics is collecting ALL Kubert's Tarzan work in a new series of hardcovers. The first volume comes out in a couple weeks: [url]http://www.darkhorse.com/profile/profile.php?sku=10-922[/url] I strongly recommend it. Carl [/QUOTE]
