Nearly fifty years ago, Edgar Rice Burroughs' final Tarzan manuscript was locked in a vault, unfinished, never to be read by anyone outside the family. It became the stuff of legend. Now, half a century later, Dark Horse Comics is proud to present Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan: The Lost Adventure.

In this never-before-printed novel (serialized over four issues), Tarzan guides an explorer and his beautiful daughter to a remote, mythical African city, and contends with an outlaw safari which hopes to reach the same destination... first. Tarzan's battles with jungle beasts and a brutal sequence in a tribal village are vintage Burroughs at his best!

We're presenting this long-lost masterpiece in the same format in which the very first Tarzan story saw print: As a pulp! This four-issue series interweaves the text, as faithfully revised and completed by Joe R. Lansdale, with detailed black-and-white illustrations. Thomas Yeates has provided the artwork for this first issue, while Charles Vess, Gary Gianni, and Michael W. Kaluta are respectively slated to illustrate issues 2-4, each to be housed under a gorgeous painted cover by Arthur Suydam.
