Review: The culmination of Russ Manning comic art bliss - With the turn of page 294 in this beautiful, full color art book from IDW Publishing, a nearly lifelong dream has been fulfilled for this comic art fan: a high quality collection of the majestic artistic work of Russ Manning's "Tarzan." Volume 4 of "Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips (1974-1979)" brings this comic master's rendition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary character to a dramatic conclusion with 9 amazing adventures that take the Lord of the Jungle across the breath of a mythic and mysterious Africa, as well as beneath the Earth itself. Within this book, the reader will discover the following dramatic tales: "Tarzan Returns to Sanguinarius:" (March 24-November 3, 1974); in which "Tarzan" once again enters a lost city suspended in time, the last remnant of the ancient Roman Empire, a place he first discovered in the Burroughs' 1929 novel, "Tarzan and the Lost Empire." "Tarzan and the Valley of Mist:" (November 10, 1974-February 9, 1975); "Tarzan," accompanied by his monkey friend Nkima, seeks to answer the mystery of strange acting jungle animals and finds a seemingly blissful environment unlike any he's encountered in Africa. "Korak and the desertcarts of the Elephants' Graveyard:" (February 16-August 10, 1975); follows "Tarzan's teen-aged son Korak on a solo adventure involving lost legends and war within a lost civilization. "Tarzan and the Giant Insects of Opar:" (August 17, 175-August 22, 1976); the Jungle Lord returns to Opar, the last outpost of ancient Atlantis, and again encounters the alluring Queen La (Oh my, La!), the savage beastmen and worse multi-legged dangers. "Tarzan and the Emigrants:" (August 29-December 26, 1976); "Tarzan" comes into conflict with a family of white settlers, whose desire to build a farmland disrupts the natural order of the jungle. "Tarzan and the Jungle Revolution:" (January 2-August 21, 1977); together with his beloved wife Jane, "Tarzan" battles a ruthless army general seeking to bring war to the cherished home of the Lord of the Jungle. "Korak and the Sacred Lake of Krackao:" (August 28, 1977-January 29, 1978); Korak loses his heart to an enchanting priestess of a mysterious culture tied to primal and primitive forces. "Tarzan and the Dead Moon of Pellucidar:" (February 5, 1978-February 3, 1979); "Tarzan" returns "to one of the strangest...most imaginative...and deadliest...of all the lands created by the master of adventure (Edgar Rice Burroughs)"...the underground world beneath the Earth..."savage Pellucidar!" "Tarzan and the Games of Ibizzia:" (February 4-June 24, 1979); the family of "Tarzan" are reunited as they try to stop the power mad General Mwalafeo from going through with a athletic competition that threatens the lives of its participants, including Korak. These tales are from the final Sunday newspaper continuities and showcase the truly great, imaginative storytelling skills of Russ Manning. They vary in tone and technique but remain at their heart, breathless adventure stories. Mr. Manning revels in depicting the characters and lost civilizations first created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and imagines a few of his own that add to the mystique of this Africa that never was. A strong subtext to many of the stories is the corrupting and destructive influence of civilization on the jungle world of "Tarzan." The older or lost civilizations are shown as decadent in their decline. For example, Saguinarius, the former city-state of ancient Rome, is a place of greed and ambition, while the lost city of Opar's denizens, the bloated, bearded beastmen, seem more brutal and animalistic than the Great Apes, the furry creatures who raised "Tarzan" to become the Lord of the Jungle. At the same time, other environments, like Pellucidar, are tainted by the fury of the primeval, their inhabitants caught up in the constant struggle for survival. In contrast, Mr. Manning illustrates "Tarzan's" jungle home as almost tranquil in comparison, a garden of Eden; rich in natural wonder and resources, it is no wonder "Tarzan" loves and constantly strives to protect it. At the center of these stories is Mr. Manning's noble, charismatic Lord of the Jungle. His "Tarzan" is a brave warrior, an inspiring leader, an iconic heroic figure. As written and drawn by this master of the comic medium, Edgar Rice Burroughs' most famous creation is fully and beautifully realized. In the book's richly illustrated introduction written by Henry G. Franke III, the author describes how the creators' of the comic book versions of "Tarzan" hoped to expand the character's comic adventures with Mr. Manning playing a central role in these artistic ambitions. This volume provides a historical and biographical narrative on Mr. Manning's last contributions to the legend of "Tarzan." With the release of this final volume of Russ Manning's newspaper tales of "Tarzan," IDW Publishing has given comic art lovers everywhere a 4 book appreciation of a great fictional character and a great comic artist. This entire series collection serves as a long deserved tribute to the work of a man who contributed a classic legacy to the genre of comic art. This very special book comes with my very highest recommendation.
Review: Tarzan delivers! - This final installment of comic strips by Russ Manning is different from the other three volumes in the series--this one is fully in color. There are no more daily Tarzan strips at this point, so the book is entirely devoted to the color Sunday pages. As in the previous volumes, the artwork is sumptuous and lavish. The characters are lively and compelling. My only quibble is that I wish Tarzan, Jane, and Korak had shared more adventures instead of almost always going their separate ways. It's a little frustrating each time they get reunited that they get separated again so soon. It's great to see Korak as a teen in these adventures, and he comes in for his share of the excitement, so that part is good. The stories are epic in scope and magnificently illustrated, so the book is a visual treat throughout. Fans of Tarzan will savor this collection. Korak fans will also find much to appreciate. Russ Manning is simply one of the best all-time Tarzan artist/writers.
