GUEST BLOG: TARZAN AND THE GODS OF OPAR

[THANKS TO DARRIN & RUTH SUTHERLAND OF WARLORD WORLDS, TREKKER TALK AND XENOZOIC XENOPHILES.]

Tarzan swings back onto the silver screen this summer in a brand new big budget film. So, this is the perfect time to revisit Tarzan in comics. If you are interested in reading some excellent Tarzan stories, you need look no further than Dark Horse Comics. They have published some beautiful Archive and Omnibus collections featuring artists like Joe Kubert, Russ Manning, and Jesse Marsh and this summer they will be publishing the Tarzan Sunday comic strips written and illustrated by Mike Grell from 1981-1983.

Today, we take a look at "Tarzan and the Gods of Opar" which is a 24 page story written and illustrated by Mike Grell that was published in Dark Horse Presents  issues 8, 9 and 10 in 2015. The story follows the events featured in the novel "Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar" written by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1916. We hope you enjoy it.
