Early in the transformation of comic strips to comic books, United Features Syndicate published Comics on Parade as a showcase for its most popular strips, including Tarzan, Li'l Abner and Nancy. While Sheeta the panther saves Tarzan, Jane is the captive of Rokoff, in the adaptation of The Beasts of Tarzan with art by Rex Maxon. After his mother lends Danny Dingle's autographed Babe Ruth baseball to some neighborhood kids, Danny has to climb into a stranger's house to retrieve it. Escaping the tropical island, Looy and Dilbury are set adrift in a lifeboat with sailor Joe. Plus a Li'l Abner storyline by Al Capp, and an illustrated biography of screen actor Richard Barthelmess.
