This week I wanted to showcase a Tarzan cover by the acclaimed Neal Adams. This is one of those covers that tells a story, it seems to me, with an amnesiac Tarzan (if I recall correctly) stumbling into the sacrificial chamber of the Flaming God, where the high priestess La has been interrupted in her murderous rituals. Neal Adams' covers were quite striking and I love the details here... the blood running down his arm, the peek at the lost city of Opar through the open ceiling of the chamber...
Definitely a neat cover, and it sounds like it gives you a real taste of the story. I always like when covers actually have something to do with the story.
I just love the perspective of this cover, all around it's such a well done piece of art!

ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting cover.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read some of Burroughs' Tarzan books.
ReplyDeleteCool cover!
ReplyDeleteThis does have some nice details, and the reflection in the water on the ground and everything is so nice.
