"With The Modern Prometheus and Le Monstre, I have been embellishing story gaps in Burroughs' original novel," said writer Lovern Kindzierski. "There were passages that merely read `Tarzan traveled to New York, and came back wiser about the ways of human nature.' It's given me a fantastic opportunity to imagine what happened."
When Tarzan travels to the Big Apple, he encounters a group of scientists fighting to taste some forbidden fruit--the notebooks of the deceased Dr. Victor von Frankenstein! Thomas Edison, among others, thinks he ought to have them. But the true heir is lurking, waiting . . . for the opportunity to destroy them.
This series will be followed by another two-issue story arc, titled Tooth and Nail.
Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan: Modern Prometheus is a two-part series illustrated by Stan Manoukian and Vince Roucher, with incredible covers by Michael Wm. Kaluta. The first issue swings into town August 1, at a retail price of $2.95.
