A truly gorgeous and inspirational piece. I can't believe Canavarel didn't use this! So many artists owe their careers to Frazetta, the master.

I just finished "reading" this Tarzan story from these ruffs. Didn't need the writing. Kubert is a master cinematic storyteller. Thanx for sharing.

Great inking job, Dave. Gene Colan is one of the toughest pencillers to embellish correctly. And you did it! Excellent problem solving , especially with that left thigh. Great washes, too.

Arthur Adams drew this around the time he finished up his "Longshot" mini-series. It was clearly pencilled for someone else to ink. In this case, Terry Austin.

I can see Raymond's influence in Frazetta's work also, though I've never heard Frazetta sight him as so. He alway's points out Foster as his big inspiration. Btw, Alex Raymond was 26 when he did this page...the same age Frazetta was when he did "UNTAMED LOVE" and the famous rejected "BUCK ROGERS" cover.

This is a great example of what Alex Raymond was doing when he was only twenty five years old! Keep in mind that he was hired to do this strip in the style of MATT CLARKE, who turned down the assignment. I personally like what Raymond was doing on X-9 better than the work he was doing on FLASH GORDON during most of 1934. PLEASE post a better scan of this piece!
