In the dailies from August 2, 1971 through July 29, 1972, Tarzan returns to the Earth’s core, while Korak plays guide on the dangerous white water river. In the Sundays from January 24, 1971 through March 17, 1974, Tarzan travels to Pal-ul-don and Korak enters the City of Xuja. Edgar Rice Burroughs classic hero, Tarzan, shares the adventure spotlight with his teenage son, Korak, in the third volume of IDWs already cherished collection of classic comic strip art, Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips (1971-1974). This penultimate book in the planned four volume reprint series presents the fortunate reader the final two daily comic strip tales of the Lord of the Jungle and four full color Sunday stories of Tarzan, his beautiful wife, Jane, and Korak, traversing the amazing lands of Mr. Burroughs imagination; written and illustrated by Russ Manning, one of the greatest artists to bring the iconic character to life in comic form.The book opens with a rewarding and very illuminating historical essay, The Day the Tarzan Dailies Ended, by Henry G. Franke III. This fully illustrated article answers many questions about Mr. Mannings work on the wondrous newspaper strip he created, as well as other Tarzan projects he produced. Of special interest to American fans is the section of the essay which discusses the graphic albums Mr. Manning created exclusively for Europe. These alternative form comic books have long been works of wonder and mystery to Tarzan and Russ Manning admirers in the United States. For years we longed to know how many there were and when we would get the chance to enjoy them. Mr. Franke describes their history in great detail as well as the challenges Mr. Manning struggled through in their creation. For the record, the names of these graphic albums were: Tarzan in the Land that Time Forgot, Tarzan and the Pool of Time, Tarzan in Savage Pellucidar, and Tarzan and the Beastmaster. The first of these graphic albums, The Land that Time Forgot, was the only one in the series published in an English language edition for England and the European market. This Manning adventure and The Pool of Time were finally brought to American audiences in trade paperback form by Dark Horse Comics in 1996. Tantalizingly, the article reproduces a pair of pages from Savage Pellucidar in English! Regretfully as of the writing of this review, the wait continues for the remaining albums to be published for English speaking lovers of Mr. Mannings work. Mr. Frankes essay is an invaluable look into Russ Mannings efforts to produce high quality comic art on the legend of Tarzan.That effort is on full display in this volume of reprints. Mr. Manning creates some of Tarzan and Koraks most exciting comic strip adventures within the books 295 pages. A majority of this tomes tales involve the Tarzan family in some of the most amazing environments envisioned by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The book opens with Korak and the White Water Runner, a black and white daily strip continuity first published in newspapers from August 2 - November 20, 1971, in which the son of Tarzan attempts to help a crew of documentary film-makers.Then in Tarzan Returns to the Earths Core,, the last daily strip story arc from November 22, 1971 through July 29, 1972, Mr. Manning produces an intense sequel to the 1930 Burroughs novel, Tarzan at the Earths Core. Tarzan and Korak go on a mission to return a frightening creature called a Mahar to the dangerous realm of Pellucidar, an amazing inner world located in the center of the Earth. The concept of Pellucidar comes from a series of novels and short stories Mr. Burroughs wrote over a 40 year period. It is a primitive underworld landscape in which a lost branch of humanity fights to survive against the menacing winged Mahars; races of intelligent apes, Sagoths; sentient reptile men called Horibs, not to mention monstrous dinosaurs, deadly living remnants of the ancient beasts that ruled the surface of the Earth millions of years before the coming of the human race.The section of the book devoted to the color Sundays begins with another adventure that serves as a companion to another Burroughs novel of the jungle lord. From January 24,1971 to April 2, 1972, Mr. Manning took newspaper readers on an epic quest: Tarzan Returns to Pal-ul-Don. Inspired by the twin novel tale of Tarzan the Untamed, first published in book form in 1920, and more specifically, Tarzan the Terrble, from 1921. In this tale, Jane Porter Clayton, the beloved wife of Tarzan, is lost after traveling with a pair of friends, Samantha (or Samie)and Carla, to the edge of the mysterious land called Pal-ul-Don. As Jane tries to explain to her friends:Pal- ul-Don has stayed as it was millions and millions of years ago! Tarzan believes it is in a special time space of its own! But she also warns them, ...this is no place for idle curiosity! The danger (in Pal-ul-Don) is death...terrible and certain!Much to the womens regret, Carlas curiosity gets the better of her...and thus, for Tarzan, a brave, very dimiutive comrade named Joiper, and the trio of ladies, an adventure of desperate rescue and constant danger begins. In this story, readers again see the imaginative mind of Mr. Burroughs visualized by a comic master as Russ Manning brings such concepts as the dark-furred, tailed race called the Waz-don to life, along with the albino winged men of Pal-ul-Don...and more deadly dinosaurs!In Korak and the City of Xuja, a story continuity from April 9th through September 17, 1972, the teenaged jungle prince encounters a young family, Scottie, Dina, and their daughter Debbie, who are seeking to escape modern civilization and instead face the threat of a strange lost city inhabited by a primitive people touched by madness.Jad-Bal-Ja of the Apes, first published on September 24,1972 to October 21, 1973, then returns the reader to Tarzans exploits in Pal-ul-Don on a more than year long tale that shows this timeless land at its most elemental.Korak and the Igotha concludes this action packed collection with the son of Tarzan meeting a cultured but crass African seeking his help to return to his native village. In this story arc first printed in newspapers from October 28, 1973 to March 17, 1974, the heroic Korak faces human brutality just as dangerous as the threat of dinosaurs or lions. But Korak the Killer, as he came to be first known in the jungles of Africa, is up to the challenge.This volume of comic strip reprints is a translation of pulp fiction at some of its most fantastic, and Mr. Manning revels in showing Tarzan in these extraordinary environments. He is a storyteller at the peak of his powers and the reader will be swept away by the intense action this book contains. It is quite simply a pure joy to turn each page of this tome and experience each new dramatic set piece Mr. Manning creates.Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips Volume 3 (1971- 1974), like its two previous volumes comes with this reviewers highest recommendation.

A few months ago, I wrote a review for Randy Frazee's Believe Storybook, which is an awesome companion for this book.
