Publisher Description

Burne Hogarth is one of the most famous artists in the history of comic strips - at the peak. In 1936 he followed Foster on the massively popular Tarzan comic strip, and set a new standard for dynamics and excitement. This is the first of four exclusive volumes that will collect Hogarth's entire run, beginning with Tarzan and the Golden City. Restored and reproduced in an oversized format, this edition will finally do justice to one of the most lauded illustrators of all time, whose work has been out of print for more than a decade.

Author Biography

Review

"For Tarzan buffs, it is a must!" - Basement Rejects "Tarzan in the City of Gold is a treasure that has been buried in the jungle of the past waiting for a modern-day adventurer to discover and explore it again." - Pop Mythology

"Like the jungle man he's drawing, Burne Hogarth is a beast....The way he illustrates flora around Tarzan's kingdom, his understanding of different kinds of anatomy and proportion, and the breadth of emotional faces he illustrates for so many animals is awe-inspiring. Even if you're not particularly a Tarzan enthusiast, you will probably be able to appreciate this book's artistic merit." - Ain't It Cool

"It didn't take long for me to get on board with this book and the fantastic ride it delivered. A great introduction, nice reproductions in a manageable size, and most importantly the comic strip itself is awesome fun! A definite for any Burne Hogarth/Tarzan fan, or lover of comic strips. I'll be looking forward to more." - Pop Cults

"For fans of Tarzan, In the City of Gold is a must have and anyone who has an appreciation for the excellent artwork which used to grace the pages of the Sunday funnies would be best served grabbing a copy as well. The same goes for anyone interested in the long and storied history of the comic strip and the medium of comics as well. Titan Books has produced a great collection and I eagerly anticipate the upcoming volumes in the series." - The Gaming Gang

"A stunning peak into the beginnings of a global phenomenon, into the early years of the comics industry that you love so much, into the birth of a venerable, Eisner Hall of Fame comic artist.
Keep it on your coffee table. It's sure to start a conversation." - ComicsVerse

Buy this book." - Culture Mass
