Tarzan and the Madman: Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library

by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Thomas Yeates (Foreword by), Joe Jusko (Illustrator)

Overview

Book 23 of the Tarzan® Series - Authorized by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., and Featuring Rare and Previously Unpublished Archival Materials

The drums boom forth an incredible message from tribe to tribe-Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, has become an enemy to all, stealing and enslaving their women...as well as the daughter of an English millionaire, who offers a princely reward for her recapture and Tarzan's death. Certainly her captor told Sandra Pickerall that he was Tarzan...but he also told her he was God...

Tarzan follows their trail with one thought in mind-to pursue and destroy the man who has stolen his name and made it infamous in the jungle world he loves.

About the Author

The creator of the immortal characters Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world's most popular authors. His timeless tales of heroes and heroines transport readers from the jungles of Africa and the dead sea bottoms of Barsoom to the miles-high forests of Amtor and the savage inner world of Pellucidar, and even to alien civilizations beyond the farthest star. Mr. Burroughs' books are estimated to have sold hundreds of millions of copies, and they have spawned 60 films and 250 television episodes.

Thomas Yeates is an award-winning comic book illustrator who has worked for most of the major comic publishers and was one of the first graduates of the prestigious Joe Kubert School. He is best known for illustrating The Saga of the Swamp Thing   for DC early in his career. This was followed by Timespirits, Dungeons and Dragons graphic novels, Tarzan, Zorro, and Universe X specials for Marvel. Later he illustrated lots of legends and mythology, collaborated with Sergio Aragones on Groo vs. Conan and Groo Meets Tarzan, and drew Louis L'Amour's Law of the Desert Born graphic novel. He has also landed two dream jobs, illustrating Edgar Rice Burroughs' first three John Carter novels and his current work illustrating Hal Foster's Prince Valiant Sunday newspaper strip. Yeates lives in Northern California.

Joe Jusko is among today's most acclaimed fantasy, pin-up, and comic artists. His work has been featured on book and comic posters, and on the much-praised 1992 Marvel Masterpieces trading cards. Jusko is a recipient of myriad industry honors, including a Certificate of Merit from the Society of Illustrators and a 2001 Chesley Award nomination. Fittingly, he was born on September 1, sharing his birthday with Edgar Rice Burroughs. Jusko's longtime love of Burroughs' work continues to inspire him in illustrating the Authorized Library and bringing the author's creative vision to life.
