Why it matters

As part of the long-running series featuring Edgar Rice Burroughs’ jungle hero, this issue stands out for its association with the transition toward the darker, more mature tone found in late Bronze Age comics.

Provenance

Where it came from

Korak, Son of Tarzan was a long-running comic book series published by Gold Key Comics, which focused on the adventures of Tarzan's son. The series began in 1964 and drew its inspiration from the original literary works of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Issue number 40 was published in 1972 during a period when the title was leaning into more atmospheric, jungle-adventure narratives that aimed to capture the pulp sensibilities of the early 20th century while appealing to the Bronze Age comic reader.

The interior art for this period of the series often featured work by notable comic illustrators who were tasked with maintaining a consistent visual language across Gold Key's jungle titles. These artists sought to emphasize kinetic action and the wild, untamed nature of the setting, creating a distinct aesthetic that favored lush backgrounds and dramatic character poses. The issue was received by readers as a classic example of the swashbuckling style prevalent in the Gold Key catalog, solidifying its place within the wider Edgar Rice Burroughs adaptation canon.
