Since 1918, Edgar Rice BurroughsÕ Tarzan has appeared in dozens of films and TV shows, portrayed by a small legion of actors, including Elmo Lincoln, Johnny Weissmuller, Lex Barker, and Mike Henry. Until 1968, Tarzan media shared a rough if confusing continuity between films, which this book seeks to unravel for the first time. Along the way the author also draws connections to the Jungle Jim series, which starred Johnny Weissmuller, and the Bomba the Jungle Boy films, which seemingly continued the adventures of TarzanÕs son Boy. Bezecny dives deep into nearly 60 films as she weaves together over fifty years of history to reveal the life of the Brute...immortal King of the Apes, invincible Lord of the Jungle!

Tarzan of the Apes is a novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, the first in a series of books about the title character Tarzan. It was first published in the pulp magazine The All-Story in October 1912.[1] The story follows Tarzan's adventures, from his childhood being raised by apes in the jungle, to his eventual encounters with other humans and Western society. So popular was the character that Burroughs continued the series into the 1940s with two dozen sequels.[2] For the novel's centennial anniversary, Library of America published a hardcover edition based on the original book with an introduction by Thomas Mallon in April 2012 (ISBN 978-1-59853-164-0). Scholars have noted several important themes in the novel: the impact of heredity on behavior; racial superiority; civilization, especially as Tarzan struggles with his identity as a human; sexuality; and escapism.
