Description

Tarzan Vol 1 #8
January, 1978
"The Man and the Mangani"

Writer: Roy Thomas
Penciler: John Buscema
Inker: Rudy Mesina
Letterer: Denise Wohl

Heck of a well done Damsel in distress page, nice fluid Buscema figures (with plenty of his pencils lines poking through) and incredibly detailed well crafted ink lines by Mesina. When you look at the printed comic, it's basically a muddy mess, it makes you wonder what the hell Mesina was thinking. He put way more work into the page than would ever show up in print. Though I thank him for it, as it is a treat to look at in person!

Buscema + a monkey man = pure gold, Frank.

Very nice page! I wasn't familiar with the inker, but I would say that his work goes very, very well with the magic pencils by the great John Buscema

Mesina's inks brought out the best in Big John's "jungle" pages, and this is a superb example!
