Cover by Pat Masulli and Rocco "Rocke" Mastroserio. Stories and art by Bill Montes, Ernie Bache, Frank McLaughlin and Joe Gill. Charlton Comics, believing Tarzan to be a public-domain character, produced this short-lived series before the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate made them cease and desist. It's an unauthorized adaptation of Burroughs' Jungle Tales of Tarzan, telling tales of a young Tarzan before he met Jane. An unusual item for the Tarzan collector. Tarzan tries to teach the ape tribe how to resist lions by dressing in a lionskin, but that almost backfires in a deadly way. Then he uses the lionskin to prank the natives of a nearby village, but a real lion shows up. Plus deadly facts about the crocodile. The Lion; Just Jungle; A Jungle Joke; Crocodile Tears. Final issue of the series. 32 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.12.
