TARZAN AND THE REVOLUTION, NUEVA NOVELA, ILUSTRADA POR MIKE GRELL

Interesante contexto para el Rey de los Monos, moviéndose en la desestabilizada y más salvaje que nunca África actual...


Eric Benton, an idealistic young Midwestern Peace Corps volunteer, could hardly have known that his mission to help an African village would embroil him and his colleagues in the political struggles of an emerging African nation. The people of central Africa likewise had no idea how quickly their expectations for freedom could be taken away when a ruthless dictator seizes power.


And Tarzan of the Apes had no idea that before long, he would be compelled, once again, to undertake a long and perilous journey with the Waziri to save their families. Set against a backdrop of political unrest in modern Africa, Thomas Zachek's latest page-turner takes the reader from the dank treasure troves of the lost city of Opar to turmoil in the city streets as Tarzan battles one of his most ruthless foes!

TARZAN: THE GREYSTOKE LEGACY UNDER SIEGE, ILUSTRADA POR MIKE GRELL

Quizás muchos desconocéis que se siguen produciendo nuevas novelas de Tarzán, como esta en la que la familia ha crecido bastante con los años.


The Greystoke Legacy lifts the TARZAN series to new, ground-breaking heights: A high adventure that immerses TARZAN and his offspring in a herculean-battle for their family’s survival. Set in the 1980s it introduces the Greystoke Trust, a behemoth financial estate headquartered in London, and so much more: . 


It includes a solution to the real life murder of Dian Fossey, who devoted her life to the study and preservation of African gorillas; . It introduces the great grandson of Tarzan, Jonathan, a young man struggling to seek his place in an adult world; . It unveils the inner workings of Tarzan’s massive family wealth—the Greystoke Trust, a London-based financial estate whose global influence reaches into the highest levels of business and government.


The Greystoke Legacy moves at a rapid, page-turning pace. This non-stop adventure travels from Africa to London to Paris and to Moscow in pursuit of the justice, because the family is Under Seige: . Tarzan’s African estate is demolished by an unknown guerilla militia, leaving in its wake a leveled complex littered with the dead;


The Greystoke Trust, run by grandson Jackie, is accused of capital crimes against the Crown, and Jackie is jailed; . Son Jack, the last known person to meet with Dian Fossey, is accused of her murder and is sought by African Authorities; . Jonathan’s airplane is shot down and crash lands into the African jungle forcing him to call upon his instincts, heritage and martial arts training in his attempt to survive.


This seminal, non-stop adventure includes a visit to Moscow and the aging widow of Nikolas Rokoff, Tarzan’s life-long nemesis. She is implicated in the series of disasters that have befallen the Greystokes. This leap into the late 20th Century will provide intense excitement as chapter after chapter leaves doubt as to the survival of the Greystokes and their legacy.

STARSLAYER, EL HÉROE GALACTICO DE MIKE GRELL, REEDITADO

Además de ser el papá de personajes de fantasía heróica tan Pulp como Warlord, Mike Grell, uno de los primeros autores en publicar comic independiente, también se adentró en los años setenta dentro del Sword & Planet.


A Celtic warrior from the days of the Roman Empire is compelled to join the crew of the pirate spaceship Jolly Roger in the distant future. 




The director’s cut of this wildly popular classic comic, originally published by Windjammer at Valiant (issues #1–#8), is collected with a wealth of extras, including sketches and commentary from legendary comic creator Mike Grell.


Un guerrero céltico como pirata de un futuro espacial,

Dado su parecido con el Corsair de Marvel, me pregunto cual vino primero o si ambos tienen otro referente anterior.
