The realm of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle
Tarzan is a fictional character, an archetypal feral child raised in the African jungles by the Mangani "great apes"; he later experiences civilization only to largely reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer. Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan first appeared in the novel Tarzan of the Apes (magazine publication 1912, book publication 1914), and then in twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media, authorized or not.

Enki is a service connected to public libraries. They have a massive collection of comics, including a fair amount of Tarzan. In California, you do not even need a library card to access these free comics.
Here is a California link for Tarzan comics. https://enki.biblioboard.com/search-results/g%3Dtarzan
There are only seven Tarzan titles, but the first I checked was over 200 pages long.
In Kansas, you go through the state library to find Enki.
Outside of California and Kansas, you might see if your public library has an online service called Comics Plus. Comics Plus seems to have what Enki has and more. Here is a link to their Tarzan material. https://lpfullcontent.librarypass.com/products/query:tarzan
Comics Plus is not to be confused with Comic Book Plus which has old public domain comics. They have a lot of old Tarzan radio shows on this site but no Tarzan comics as far as I can tell. Here is a link to their Tarzan material https://comicbookplus.com/search/?q=tarzan#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=tarzan&gsc.page=1
I have just created a page with links to free and cheap sources for Tarzan books, comics, TV & radio programs and movies. https://richleebruce.com/media/links/tarzan.html
Other public library resources can get you free comic books online. Furthermore, your public library generally has a massive collection of comics, also called graphic novels, on paper.
The second issue of Dan Jurgens's Lord of the Jungle run came out on Wednesday. What are readers’ thoughts on the run so far? (If you think it's too early to pass judgment, that's ok).
I mean, the character is currently published by Dark Horse Comics, but not very often as other superheroes and antiheroes like Spider-Man and Conan the Barbarian. Even though Dark Horse usually does a pretty nice job with the Tarzan stories they occasionally publish, I wonder sometimes if the comic book rights for Tarzan should go either to Marvel or DC, but then I remember that Dark Horse has released some bangers with the character that Marvel and DC would only wish they could (like the Once and Future Tarzan). So, what do you think about this? Should we see Tarzan more often in comics? Or should he stay at Dark Horse?
I read all the Tarzan books my senior year of high school, which is by now some decades in the past. I particularly enjoyed one in which Jane lives on her own in the jungle for some time, doing her own hunting and whatnot.
I've read the Wikipedia plot summaries for all the novels but none of them sounded right. Can someone identify the book?
