SUPER BLOG TEAM-UP: DESIGN MY OWN JUSTICE LEAGUE

Several bloggers and podcasters have loosely joined together (but separately) to talk about the Justice League.  Specifically, it was a “Who would you put into the Justice League” kind of scenario. Those were the only guidelines. We were all given free reign over anything other than assembling a Justice League.


I had considered trying to form a group of heroes based on “Who has never been in the League.”  That failed quickly.  Instead, I decided to take my love of alternate realities in comics (plus the appearance of a similar concept in DC’s Rebirth continuity) and create my own Justice League of the Multiverse.  So without further ado, allow me to call the role.

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.
