Summary: "The illustrated Tarzan book no. 1 : Picturized from the novel Tarzan of the…" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a pictorial adaptation of a classic adventure novel, created during the late 1920s to early 20th century. This book belongs to the genre of adventure fiction and is notable for its extensive use of illustrations—about 300 in total—to bring the story to life in a strip or graphic form. The narrative follows the legendary origins and early life of Tarzan, a young English lord raised by apes in the African jungle, highlighting themes of survival, identity, and the clash between nature and civilization. The story recounts how Lord and Lady Greystoke, stranded by mutinous sailors in the jungle, meet their fate, leaving their infant son to be adopted by Kala, a gentle ape. Growing up as "Tarzan," the boy learns the ways of the wild, discovering his human lineage through the abandoned cabin and teaching himself to read and write. The plot traces his coming-of-age among the apes, his encounters and conflicts with jungle animals and native tribes, and his eventual meeting with Jane Porter and other castaways. Romantic tension develops between Tarzan and Jane as he repeatedly saves her, navigating the divide between his wild upbringing and human origins. The narrative culminates in Tarzan's discovery of his noble birth, his selfless decision to safeguard Jane’s happiness—even at the cost of his own—and his return to his beloved African home, weaving together adventure, romance, and a search for belonging.
