Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips Volume 2 (1969-1971) Review: Russ Manning was brilliant, and his Tarzans were great, part 2 - This is a wonderful, hard-cover collection of daily Tarzan comic strips and Sunday Tarzan comic pages from 1969 to 1971. The daily Tarzan strips start with the hero and Jane finding their son Korak enslaved in a village of tree-dwelling beasts. After escaping, Korak then relates his ill-fated efforts to help a group of young rebels overthrow a religion which practices human sacrifices. After investigating a cult of magicians, Tarzan, Jane, and Korak are separated in the desert. Tarzan encounters a lost ancient Egyptian city while Korak and Jane stumble upon a planned rebellion. The trio reunites and returns to their jungle home, where Tarzan deals with a lost, telepathic, winged dinosaur. The Sunday Tarzan pages feature the hero's adventures in the lost city of Opar and with some slave traders, his wife's and his friend's story of how they met Tarzan, and his son's encounter with a city which steals youth from others. Russ Manning's artistry is brilliant. His portrayal of whimsical lands and their beasts and their people is imaginative. His depictions of Tarzan and his son Korak are classic. I can't wait for volume three. Review: More comic art bliss from Russ Manning - 290 plus pages of Russ Manning comic artistry...it really doesn't get much better than this! The second volume of IDW Publishing's wonderful collection of "Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips (1969-1971)" brings more of the creative magic of this master comic storyteller to readers young and old. Mr. Manning's interpretation of the classic character first imagined by Edgar Rice Burroughs continues to be a majestic figure, who traverses the exotic African jungle of his birth, as well as ancient civilizations and fantastic cultures in thrilling adventures he shares with his beautiful wife Jane, and their brave son Korak. What this reviewer finds so surprising and rewarding while enjoying these stories is the subtle sophistication Mr. Manning shows in his writing of his jungle tales of Tarzan. The book opens with Korak recounting his own solo adventure, "The Gryf Worshippers," a daily strip story that contained good intentions gone wrong, a friendship betrayed and a society nearly lost. This is followed by Tarzan and company's encounter with a band of magicians in "The Magii of Paul-Ul-Don." The black and white strips then showcase "the Lord of the Jungle" with family and friends as they journey across a vast barren dessert where Tarzan discovers a lost city and its inhabitants, the remains of ancient Egypt in modern times: governed by the beautiful Queen Mut-Ophet, her realm is threatened from without and within but most mysteriously by the mighty "Stone Pharoah." Reunited with Jane, Korak, and his friends, Tarzan and his fellow travelers are soon caught in the middle of a rebellion orchestrated by "The Pasha Ronchi." The daily strip adventures climax with Tarzan facing the danger of "The Cult of the Mahar," a dinosaur-like winged creature with frightening mind-bending powers. Like its predecessor in this reprint series, Volume Two of this collection features Mr. Manning's full color Sunday newspaper continuities in the rear of the book. This section begins with "The Safari to Opar," in which Tarzan returns to the last outpost of lost Atlantis to save a band of reckless explorers and again meets the entrancing La, Queen and High Priestess of Opar (Oh my, La!). In "How Tarzan Met Jane," the wife of the King of the Great Apes tells the tale of how she first set eyes on the love of her life. Then in the volume's most fantastical adventure, Tarzan goes on a desperate mission to save his son Korak from the effects of "The River of Time." As the tome reaches a climax, Tarzan meets his first friend from the civilized world, Paul D'Arnot, before going on a quest to save people taken captive by "The Slavers." The loyal comrade to Tarzan ends the reprint collection with his recollection of "How Paul D'Arnot Met Tarzan." All these amazing exploits were written and illustrated by Russ Manning, a comic creator at the peak of his artistic powers. His elegant line work is simply a beautiful sight for the eyes: his vision of Tarzan is heroic, his women are graceful in their feminine beauty, and his landscapes are rich environments that encompass his characters. Yet importantly, Mr. Manning's stories also contain a depth of emotional drama that strengthens their hold on the reader. A specific example of this is his characterization of the lovely Egyptian Queen Mut-Ophet. A noble woman struggling to hold onto her crown as a lady Pharoah, she is torn by her responsibilities as a leader of her people while burdened with the realities of sacrifice she must endure that prevent her heart from finding happiness. Despite her regal persona, the reader is not surprised when she comes to look to Tarzan for strength, support and perhaps, more. Mr. Manning connects her to his great hero and to the reader, who empathizes with her plight. But while she bears similarities to the Burroughs character, La, Queen Mu-Ophet, as written by Mr. Manning, is distinct in her own right. As Tarzan himself reflects: "Queen La is a beautiful, desirable woman...but the blood of centuries of Beastmen is in her veins!" In contrast, Queen Mu-Ophet is depicted as a more stately woman of royalty, a Queen who must keep her emotions in check. When they are revealed, their exposure is that much more dramatic. This characterization of two remarkable women is just an example of Mr. Manning's storytelling skills. His talents as a master of comic art are on full display is this thick tome. With an informative illustrated introductory essay that details Mr. Manning's challenges in "Rejuvenating the Tarzan newspaper strip" by Henry G. Franke III, high quality reproductions of the gifted artist's daily and Sunday strips, this hardcover tribute to the art of Russ Manning comes with this fan's highest recommendation. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,416,446 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,267 in Comic Strips (Books) #29,840 in Superhero Comics & Graphic Novels #126,962 in Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (65) | | Dimensions | 8.94 x 1.26 x 11.3 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 1613778201 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1613778203 | | Item Weight | 3.75 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 296 pages | | Publication date | December 31, 2013 | | Publisher | IDW Publishing | | Reading age | 9 - 12 years | ## Images ![Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips Volume 2 (1969-1971) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71CgGd-MBBL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Russ Manning was brilliant, and his Tarzans were great, part 2 *by D***N on January 7, 2014* This is a wonderful, hard-cover collection of daily Tarzan comic strips and Sunday Tarzan comic pages from 1969 to 1971.
