Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic hero, Tarzan, has always been at home in the wild. But instead of his native jungle, Tarzan travels to the concrete jungle of New York City in his latest adventure, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan: The Modern Prometheus, a two-part series that reunites the Tarzan: Le Monstre team of writer Lovern Kindzierski and illustrators "Stan and Vince"!

"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.
