Tarzan the Jesse Marsh years vol 01 hardcover

Written by Gaylord DuBois
Art by Jesse Marsh Cover by Jesse Marsh  

Dark Horse Archives is proud to present the first four issues of this influential Golden Age series in a handsome hardcover — kicking off a comprehensive program that will collect the first nineteen years of the classic title!

In 1947, artist Jesse Marsh left Walt Disney Studios-where he had worked on Pinocchio, Fantasia, and various animated shorts — to work for Western Publishing full time. Tarzan was one of his first assignments, with the iconic character’s first original comic-book appearance in Dell Four-Color Comics#134. Tarzan #2 would begin Marsh’s long-term collaboration with writer Gaylord DuBois. Their terrific work drew admiration and respect from readers and peers — Russ Manning among them — and Marsh’s art inspired future comics creators from Richard Corben to Los Bros. Hernandez!
