Variant - Tarzan and the Golden Lion
 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Variant based on P. J. Monahan's December 9, 1922 cover for the first in a seven-part serialization of Tarzan and the
Golden Lion in Argosy All-Story Weekly.
Monahan's iconic portrayal is not the wimp of the movies; this is a Tarzan of real-strength, of body and character.
He has a confident grasp on his world and our imaginations. In this illustration Tarzan is the experience-sharpened
power in his universe---a mythic, jungle world that lived only in the minds of the Colonial-era Europeans and an
American public who romanticized them, a world recast in each adventure novel of Victorian and depression-era
writers of escapist adventure, most notably Rudyard Kipling, H. Ryder Haggard, and, of course, Edgar Rice
Burroughs.
I have always loved this P.J. Monahan image created for the cover of the December 1922 serialization of TARZAN
AND THE GOLDEN LION. Don't get me wrong; I love the St. John illustration used on the early editions of this book.
However, I have also always wanted to see this wonderful Monahan illustration on a DJ for this title. So, I have
created a DJ using the Monahan image for a McClurg or Grosset and Dunlap book. For the back cover, I used a
"biography" of Tarzan. For the front flap, I used the Ballantine books blurb for the paperback edition. For the back
flap, I entered some critical remarks about Burroughs' influence. I added a G&D logo and a Burroughs doodad to
the spine.
Once purchased, your dust jacket will be wrapped in a mylar dust cover, packed flat, and mailed within twenty-four hours of payment,
even on weekends --- It won't go out until the next workday, but it will be dropped off at the post office within twenty-four hours of
payment. Shipping in the USA is free, calculated in the cost of the product.
International shipping to Canada and Great Britain only: $8.00 added to the overall costs. (See SERVICES on the navbar above.)
eMail if there is a problem with fitting your DJ. I'll pre-fit it on my book just to be as sure as possible that all is correct. However,
anything is possible. So contact me immediately if you have a problem.
