As I’ve mentioned in other reviews lately, I have made this year my “Year of Tarzanâ€. In a normal year I will read one, maybe two Tarzan novels just to make my way through them. I’ve long been a fan of Edgar Rice Burroughs and indeed, some of my first “grown-up†books were ERB stories. But whereas I’ve completed most of his other long series and many of his stand-alone novels, I had been putting off the Lord of the Apes, mostly because of the sheer number of them (24 in all).

But whereas I’ve completed most of his other long series and many of his stand-alone novels, I had been putting off the Lord of the Apes, mostly because of the sheer number of them (24 in all). But this year, when I discovered it was the 100th anniversary of Tarzan on film, I decided I would make this a focus theme of my year. Consequently, I have read four ERB books and one by Will Murray, as well as watched the original 1918 silent film, all 12 Johnny Weissmuller movies, all 5 Lex Barker flicks, and all 6 Gordon Scott films. I even made use of a Tarzan wall calendar all year long.Sep 05, 2019
Griffin is an excellent researcher and organizer/presenter of that research, so while this book is basically fluff, it is well presented fluff, and much more fun to read than ERB's awful novels. It lacks a fifth star because the image distribution is sometimes poor, especially in the sound film section, Griffin almost entirely avoids the Richard Powers paperback illustrations that helped define Tarzan in the sixties, and the subject is not really important.Jan 22, 2018
an excellent look at how Tarzan crossed over into every single type of media, books, movies, comics, newspaper strips. great for any Tarzan fan.Mar 30, 2013
Perhaps it’s unnecessary, but I’ll briefly outline his story. John Clayton, Lord Greystoke and his young pregnant wife Alice were abandoned on the east coast of Africa in 1872 when the crew of the Fuwalda mutinied and set them ashore. They were left with two crates of belongings, a rifle and some ammunition. Bravely facing up to the terrors of a strange primitive land, Clayton built a small hut among the trees and there they retired to relative safety, frightened by the jungle noises.

Alice gave birth to a boy, John. Nearby, huge apes congregated, issuing terrible grunts and growls: these creatures had their own language and called themselves mangani; they were more hominid than gorilla.Mar 28, 2013
“Me Tarzan, you Jane.†While the words aren’t an accurate quote from a Tarzan book or movie, they have stuck with many of us for years, reminding us of the muscled man of action and his African jungle friends.Nov 25, 2012

1) Edgar Rice Burroughs was used in the role of fictional detective in Max Allan Collins' "The Pearl Harbor Murders".Feb 08, 2013
Fantastic book. I've been a fan of Burroughs and Tarzan since a I was very young. I guess I must have been about 11 or 12 when family friend bought me a copy of Tarzan of the Apes, and I was hooked.Feb 23, 2013
Everything Tarzan--the art, the books, the films. And more, much more. Tracy also gives us a good bio of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the creator of Tarzan, and gives us a synopsis of all of his work--the John Carter series, Carson of Venus, the Westerns, and so on. I appreciated the info on Tarzan fan clubs and collectibles--and so much else.May 30, 2013
Great coffee table book relating all things Tarzan from the initial stories, many of their republications & adaptations, and far more than I ever needed to know about the movies, etc. Just wish they'd spared a half-page to talk about the cartoon show I loved as a kid. Still, a great resource if you're an ERB and Tarzan fan.Dec 31, 2012
