Burne Hogarth’s “The Golden Age of Tarzan: 1939-1942” by Edgar Rice Burroughs. New York: Chelsea House, 1977. Limited, signed edition.

            Newspaper-size volume with over 150 full-color Sunday pages from May 21, 1939 to April 26, 1942.

“The Tarzan pages reproduced in this volume display Burne Hogarth at his most luminous, emerging from the shadow of Harold Foster into his rightful artistic place.  This may justly be termed Tarzan’s golden period, as the Lord of the Jungle romps in the triumphant exuberance of youth, tempered by the painstaking acquisition of wisdom.  In the youthful yet grave expression on his face and in the playful but deliberate flexing of his muscles, it is easy to see that Tarzan, like Hogarth, is slowly, perhaps regretfully, leaving his twenties.  From 1939 to 1942 there is an almost perceptible reaching for and getting to, the zenith . . .

“The episodes reprinted here are said to have been authored by Don Garden and evidence a solid knowledge of Burroughs’ thematic preferences.” [Excerpt from the foreword by Maurice Horn, the book’s editor] 

“With this book, we have sought to achieve a permanent form for this wonderful hero – to recover the Golden Years which took shape in the beautiful but all too fleeting Sunday comic pages.”  The Publisher
