Tarzan comic editions

Not rewritten until November 2022

In the USA, Dark Horse seems to treat Tarzan: the Joe Kubert years with more respect than it did to Tarzan: the Russ Manning years in any way. Thanks to all the legal limbos, it’s invevitable that a Buscema years omnibus collectors edition for the Tarzan comic books, drawn primarily by the Buscema brothers John and Sal, has pretty much been nulled out anyway. 

France’s Graph Zeppelin made a French version of Tarzan: the Russ Manning years, while its competitor Delirium made a French version of Tarzan: the Joe Kubert years collectors edition, itself translated from English like the Brazilian Portuguese one. 

Even though Brazil’s Devir has finally produced a complete Tarzan: the Russ Manning years omnibus collectors edition, it similarly has quite a lot of problems with the digital recolouring, whereas it treats Tarzan: the Joe Kubert years in a considerably better light, which is still interesting, considering that the latter was translated from English. 

Devir’s competitor, Pipoca e Nanquim, did a decent (but not quite great) recolouring of Tarzan: the Buscema brothers years omnibus collectors edition, which, although expensive, is much more affordable than the forever zombified Tarzan: the Buscema years omnibus collectors edition by a large margin. Unfortunately, it’s only available in Brazil for a moment, but it can be exported out of it.
