Written by Will Murray. Map Illustration by Romas Kukalis. Cover by Henry G. Franke III.

When a witch doctor's foul sorcery hurls the ape-man's soul out of his magnificent body, Tarzan finds himself marooned on a weird, treeless landscape - a dying planet inhabited by creatures unknown to him. For on Barsoom - as Martians style their home planet - there exists apes. Great apes with four arms, a type not found upon Earth.

Unarmed and hungry, Tarzan must hunt these fearsome beasts, and so begins the perilous trek that elevates the former jungle lord from naked castaway to the undisputed Ape-lord of Barsoom!

An authorized unabridged edition of Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic prepared especially for young readers with an official APE-ENGLISH Dictionary.

First Edition Library was formed to create as exact a duplicate of the original first edition of famous American books like The Great Gatsby or The Grapes of Wrath. They went so far as to even commission ink or type be created to replicate an edition if that color or font was now extinct. Besides classics, they also produced twelve editions of science fiction. Tarzan of the Apes, originally published in 1914, was one of these and one of the more famous (copies in fine condition have been sold for five figures). The FEL editions also feature a sturdy slipcase, usually replicating the dustjacket. This is a first edition, identified by the FEL colophon on the rear inside dust jacket flap and the explanatory text block on the copyright page. Special mention should be made of the cloth boards: they exactly replicate the first edition in every detail, down to the spine's A.C. McClurg identification not having the acorn between the A and C, the special maroon cloth and the two embedded framing lines on the cover surrounding the gilt title and author credit. Hardcover novel limited to 2500 copies. Book measures approx. 5 1/4-in. x 7 1/2-in. Slipcase measures 5 3/8-in. x 8-in.

1st printing. By Scott Tracy Griffin. Tarzan on Film is the result of two decades of exhaustive research on the 98-year ape man cinema canon, one of the greatest and most enduring series in motion-picture history. The 1918 release of the silent-film blockbuster Tarzan of the Apes launched one of history's longest-running and most successful film franchises. Based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' pulp-fiction hero, the tale of the infant orphaned in Africa and raised to manhood by apes has been explored in more than 50 films and seven television series. Writer and historian Scott Tracy Griffin traces the series' development, from the motion-picture industry's early silents and serials, through the high point of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer era featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan, to modern worldwide hits like Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, and Walt Disney Studios' animated Tarzan. Hardcover, 10-in., x 13-in., 224 pages, full color. Cover price $39.95.

1st printing. Written by Michael A. Sanford. Art and cover by Will Meugniot. With Tarzan alone in Wisconsin after nobly allowing Jane to leave with his cousin - who believes he is the rightful heir to the Greystoke estate - Tarzan is despondent and seeks the wilderness to console himself. And there is a vast wilderness just north of him in Canada. Intending to be alone, Tarzan is soon anything but. Captured and put in chains by vicious criminals, Tarzan is pushed off the precipice of a volcanic crater. While surviving that fall he discovers a lost Viking civilization, but he again becomes a captive. And this time the odds are overwhelming. Tarzan's punishment includes running unarmed through a gauntlet of a dozen heavily armed Norsemen with axes, swords and hammers. Tarzan's fight for survival is epic and will keep you fascinated throughout the entire novel. Join Tarzan as he ventures into Canada and encounters untold dangers with deadly consequences that cast doubt on whether Tarzan can ever return to Africa. Hardcover, 5-in. x 10-in., 220 pages, Text (with B&W Chapter Illustrations). Cover price $34.95.
