Gold Key goes to the Jungle

(Brothers of the Spear, Korak Son of Tarzan, Tono and Kono the Jungle Twins, Turok Son of Stone, & Tarzan)

After about issue #31 the Tarzan issues that are in very good condition become very reasonable, considering that they are of the golden age of comics.

Brothers of the Spear 1st appear in Tarzan #25. They are serial stories that continue through three to four issues. Serials are great if you have all the issues, but if you don't the stories just aren't as good. Some might suggest that the atmospheric pressure is lower around these comics if you really like Brothers of the Spear.

The Last Dell issue was #131. Most issues #1-158 have Jessie Marsh art. Brothers of the Spear were drawn by Russ Manning of Manus Robot Fighter did a lot of the Brothers of the Spear & Some of the Gold Key issues above the issues #164 have Tarzan by Russ Manning according to Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide #32.

If the comic's condition is listed as SOLD or RESERVED it is no longer available. If the condition is listed as NM, VF, FN, VG, GD, or FR it should be available. NOTE: When a comic is sold it is not removed from the web, it's condition is just marked as Sold.

Barney and Gomer

Gomer: It's damp under there. Could be spiders.

Barney: Now what makes you think there's spiders under there?

Gomer: Cause... If I were a spider that's where I'd go.

Barney: Gomer there are no spiders under there. now get movin'.

Gomer: I don't know. Sure looks pretty spidery to me.

Barney: ...Gomer, get down there with them spiders and start workin'.
