While Tarzan was a young man living in the wilds of Africa, he experienced life on a level that most people of the "civilized" world would deem savage and ultimately brutal. But in the years he traveled the world with his wife Jane, after he reclaimed the birthright title Lord Greystoke, Tarzan lived knowing that the natural savagery of the jungles where he'd spent so many years often paled in comparison to the inhumane acts members of so-called "civilized" society committed every day. Now, in Dark Horse's newest Tarzan miniseries, writer Neven Anticevic and famed Tarzan artist Igor Kordey explore the dark psychology of civilized humanity, as Tarzan and Jane find their love unraveling with the terrifying onset of World War I.

In all their years together, Jane and Tarzan's indomitable love has helped them overcome remarkable odds, including the natural difficulties that arose from their very different origins. Now, Jane is in a frenzied state of hatred toward her husband that even she doesn't understand, and Tarzan is desperate to find a cure for her irrational behavior. In desperation, he enlists the help of experimental psychologists Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud to see if one of the esteemed doctors might be able to help save their marriage. Meanwhile, one of the men whom Tarzan enlists to help is experiencing disturbing visions of his own, in which all the rivers of Europe run red with blood . . .

"Since I spend half of my life with Tarzan, whether putting him on book covers or drawing him in comics, I consider him as my destiny," said artist Kordey. "This story took me almost two decades of fighting to be published, and you will see that it was worth the struggle. It's about great love and devotion, split personality, great adventures. It's a `cloak and dagger' mystery. And it's about me--all those years caring for my family, fighting the urge to leave everything and conquer new worlds, and at the same time trying to remain a sane a free human being in this chaos at the end of the millennium."

Explore the darkest years of Tarzan's life with Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan: Rivers of Blood--a comics project more than 15 years in the making. This eight-issue, full-color series debuts November 10.
