Following the news that The New Adventures of Tarzan will be collected between hard covers comes Dark Horse announcing they will also publish the other Tarzan strip from the E. R. Burroughs website.
For years, the Tarzan of the Apes comic strips by Roy Thomas, Pablo Marcos, and Oscar Gonzalez have been available exclusively to subscribers of the Edgar Rice Burroughs newsletter. That will change later this year
Here’s how Dark Horse describes Tarzan of the Apes:
Published in Sunday newspaper strip landscape format, these adaptations of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic tales are scripted by comics legend Roy Thomas and illustrated by Pablo Marcos. Revealing the origin of the Jungle Lord and his earliest adventures, Tarzan of the Apes is a must for every Tarzan collection!

In another sign of the friction between the Internet Archive and major publishers, Penguin Random House denies claims that it demanded the removal of Art Spiegelman’s acclaimed Holocaust graphic memoir Maus from IA digital circulation due to soaring sales in the wake of recent efforts to censor the book.
In a February 10 blog post Chris Freeland, director of Internet Archive’s Open Libraries Initiative, claims that PRH demanded that IA remove the book from its lending library because “in their words, ‘consumer interest in Maus has soared’ as a result of a Tennessee school board’s decision to ban teaching the book.”
