Aka Tarzan’s Arrest for Poaching.

No way the knife fits in the scabbard.
He looks to have lost some muscle mass since Opar.

“The beasts that became Tarzan’s. By being killed by Tarzan.”
Really, the cover is a wee bit inappropriate for a story which features Tarzan and his Jungle Allies.
(And the background seems to suggest the adventure takes place somewhere in Arizona).

Got a pretty sweet wrap-around cover in one of the earlier editions:

That’s not a lion. That’s Steve Bannon.

The Bannon Lion is waking up from a 3 martini nap just as Tarzan is taking a selfie with his tiny mobile phone.

This was all worked out ahead of time. After Tarzan is done it’s the lion’s turn to take a selfie standing on Tarzan.

(*record scratch*)
Yeah, that’s me, looking like a lion-skin rug that’s seen better days. I suppose you’re wondering how I woke up with Tarzan here standing on top of me giving the jerk-off symbol with his hand. Well, let’s start at the beginning …

@Bruce, #3 – Yes, specifically, the cover was painted on the road to Cottonwood: https://outofafricapark.com/

Did the same guy pose for Tarzan and the Lion’s face?
September 2nd, 2020 at 4:20 pm
Tarzan was willing to do anything to get the White Witch’s attention.

@Adzel—including wearing a loincloth that doesn’t quite cover those things it’s supposed to cover.

Ya know, 1951 wasn’t medieval. Artists knew about perspective and realism then.
Male nips = not allowed, tiny loincloths = Ok. Sure.
@Bruce: Good point. Tarzan killing his beasts is just Not On. And I do like the wraparound cover.
@Francis (5): Hey, apologize to the dead lion for that insult.
@Tor: Heh.
@Ryan: well-spotted! I wonder about that place though — is having tourists ziplining over predators the best way to get repeat business?

Is that supposed to be Michael Hestletine or Norman Lamont?

Unknown Artist Institute Foot Avoidance Tips and Tricks, #162: hide the feet with a dead lion. (Tigers may also be used, but their lack of mane provides less cover)

@GSS ex-noob
Heh, ERB wrote a prescient fable about the current state of US politics. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

@FB: In which case I think that’s Eric standing atop. You know how those boys like to kill big animals and pose with them.

Who ripped out big hunks of hair from Tarzan’s scalp? I see bald patches.
September 4th, 2020 at 9:17 pm
@Tracy: Either the Unknown Artist, or Tarzan’s hairdresser, isn’t very skilled at doing highlights.

Francis Boyle owns this thread. Good show Sir, good show!
