(Tarzan - created in 1912) and a hero who deals with the supernatural (Conan - created in 1932). Tarzan ruled in all catagories. Print, film, and cartoon comic strip up into the 1970's when Marvel Comics put Conan the Barbarian back into the publics imagination with the first issue of the comic book. The power of the supernatural ideology, themes and situations propelled the character (and even..... Barry Smith..... into a supernaturally impacted career)...... and even the whole of the public, over time I think..... to move away from the natural and towards the supernatural. People seem to be bored with the natural things now-a-days. Everything has to be supernatural to be interesting. I don't know if this is a good thing or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually the power of the image on his works hits you almost instantly. On that one you really have to struggle to see what is going on. kav 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comic_memories Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I have always felt that Burne Hogarth was the greatest illustrator of Tarzan. Well before my time of collecting, unfortunately. Ken Aldred and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Aldred Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 Those are very, very nice examples of Hogarth's Tarzan, but his figurework could be a bit stiff at times. My favourite is Joe Kubert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favourite is Joe Kubert. Hogarth reminds me of Dave Stevens. Very clean and precise. Kubert is awesome also. Way more sloppy, sort of, but captures more Frazetta action Edited September 16, 2017 by Senormac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
