Original Vintage Art & Text
Art by Frank Frazetta from the story “The Monsters from the Mists” in Thun’da, King of the Congo #1, Jan. 1952. Published by Magazine Enterprises. (It’s the only comic book that Frazetta drew from cover to cover. And it’s stunning stuff. But I’ll point out that some of the art in this comic book is decidedly non-PC in its depictions of the African natives.)

↓ TranscriptSCENE: Goonish, jungle ape-man (Goober Tarzan) puts his hairy arms about a beautiful young woman wearing a fur, jungle dress. She reacts in alarm.
GOOBER: Me...Tarzan!
WOMAN: Me...Repulsed!
CAPTION: After Tarzan retired to a villa in France, his half-gorilla stepbrother (Goober Tarzan) took over the family jungle franchise. But things didn't go well at first. Or really ever!
