Above is a gallery of black and white interpretations of the classic ERB Apeman by some outstanding artists! Many of these give us Tarzan as the superman of the veldt--whether it's Mannings sleek hero, or the powerful figure by Adams, or even Hoffman's perfect man.

 

And while I have a fundamental adoration for Kubert's somber take on Tarzan, and I find Frazetta's bristling with energy, it's Tom Yeates, evoking the spirit of Krenkel, who I think blends the classic with the modern to find a Lord of the Jungle who really seems to breathe like a real being. But none of these are weak in the least, all are fabulous in their way.
