Edgar Rice Burroughs' mighty Tarzan  springs out of the page in our newest illustrators  Special, featuring an interview by Bill Stout with the amazing Joe Jusko as Joe shares some of the most spectacular Tarzan art ever seen and reveals how and why these paintings came about.

This epic issue also features John Watkiss and his inspirational art for Disney's 1993 animated classic Tarzan. A reminiscent Bill Stout recalls his days working as Russ Manning's assistant. And we explore the life and work of legendary Tarzan artist and founder of the New York School of Visual Arts, Burne Hogarth.
