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.
