Tarzan in Paris
First appeared in ERBapa No. 81 ~ Spring 2004
 
I found this short Tarzan story titled "Tarzan in Paris" in a 1950 French comic book. Collection Tarzan. The publication was reprinting the 1929 Hal Foster adaptation of Tarzan of the Apes. This one-day story was written and illustrated by René Brantonne and probably his assistant Pierre Leguen. René Brantonne is a French illustrator who got his start in the 1920s in France for Paramount (movie posters) and Fox. In the beginning of 1940s he started drawing comics and book covers (the most famous are Fleuve Noir Anticipation, one of the first SF collections in France in the 1950s).

It takes place just after D'Arnot has brought Tarzan to France form his African jungle. It fits between the lower two panels on page 72 of The Illustrated Tarzan Book No. 1,  subtitled Tarzan of the Apes Picturized (Grosset & Dunalp, 1929; reprinted by House of Greystoke, 1967).

~ Bob Hyde ~ 2004
with added information from Michel Dubois


Tarzan and D'Arnot return to the police bureau so that Tarzan can have his finger-prints taken by the police specialist.
~ Translated from French by Walter Albert


After this brief Paris episode, the story returns to the lower-right panel on page 71 in the Hal Foster adaptation.
