The first 22 episodes provide the overall story line from the landing of Lord and Lady Greystoke through the rescue of Jane from Terkoz or Kerchak The Ape (not sure which one) by Tarzan when he and Jane meet and speak for the first time. The specific shows that they will take excerpts from include:

There will be one live performance of the show on February 26, 2013 at 7:30 PM at the University's Bardo Fine and Performing Arts Center and a radio broadcast of the show on WWNC AM in Ashevlle, North Carolina. All proceeds go to benefit academic scholarships for students in the participating departments at the University. A television production class will do a live multi-camera shoot as a class project for archival purposes. They will enter the archival recording in academic festivals for peer review. No recordings of the show will be produced for the public or offered for sale. They will enter the performance in the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival. Representatives of the festival attend the live performance and present a review to the company. If selected in advance, the show is performed at the regional competition, and if it advances from there, it would be performed at the Kennedy Center College Theatre Festival in Washington, D.C.

Meseldžija is sharing some of the art from the book at the Muddy Colors blog, and it’s tempting stuff, even for readers who don’t understand Dutch. Besides, as legendary artist William Stout notes in the post, “Doesn’t matter, the drawings are in English.”

From the ERB Bio Timeline: 1899: January: "Darwin's Descent of Man" is added to Ed's book collection.
Ed's notation: "E. R. Burroughs Jan '99" appears on the flyleaf. Beneath the notation is a pencil drawling by Ed of a large monkey or ape in a typical position, somewhat crouching, knuckles resting on the ground. On the right of the drawing he had written "Grandpa" 
A later edition is given to son Hully with inscription "To Hully from mom and pop 1929"

Me Tarzan, You Jane: A centennial book of jungle action!
(2013 Video Interview) First things first. I may be the only grown man in America who will admit to loving the movie John Carter. Sure, the story was imperfect, the whole thing a wee bit too long and no doubt puzzling to anyone not familiar with the origins of the original Edgar Rice Burroughs superhero. Oh, and Disney erred mightily in dropping “… of Mars” from the title. That might have distinguished the title character from John Carter of… accounting, let’s say. But I thought the movie kicked ass in much the way Star Wars did the first time I saw it more than 35 years ago.

  SCOTT TRACY GRIFFIN audio excerpt: “Edgar Rice Burroughs was extremely intelligent… He wasn’t particularly outgoing or extroverted, however. He was self-effacing and humble.”

You can LISTEN to this interview with writer SCOTT TRACY GRIFFIN, author of TARZAN: THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION, by clicking the audio player above! So I was a good candidate to be interested in Scott Tracy Griffin’s new illustrated book, Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration. It’s a stunningly attractive piece of work, bringing together a century’s worth of the art, films and stories that make Burroughs one of the Western world’s most remarkable creative minds.

In one place you can now find the book covers and interiors by Frank Frazetta and Roy Krenkel, the comic book work of Joe Kubert, the comic strips of Hal Foster, and movie stills from all the great – and not so great – Tarzan films. TV’s Tarzan, Ron Ely – who will always be Doc Savage to me – even wrote the introduction.

San Diego, CA (February 8, 2013) - IDW Publishing is proud to announce that the Library of American Comics will be collecting comics legend Russ Manning's classic run with Edgar Rice Burroughs' King of the Jungle in 2013! TARZAN: THE COMPLETE RUSS MANNING NEWSPAPER STRIPS is a four-volume series. The first three volumes will chronologically collect all of Manning's daily black & white and full-color Sunday strips from 1967 to 1974, while the fourth volume will collect the remaining Sunday strips, which Manning continued to do until 1979.

"The addition of Tarzan to the Library of American Comics amplifies even further that the imprint is the premier archival home for comic strip reprints and collections," says IDW's President and Chief Operating Officer Greg Goldstein. "Russ Manning's Tarzan run is one of the real highlights of the modern age of adventure strips and we are extremely excited to be the home of its long-anticipated return to print."

The series of hardcover volumes will commence May 29th with Tarzan: The Complete Russ Manning Newspaper Strips, Vol. 1: 1967 - 1969. Fans will be treated to the first-ever collection of a historic turning point in Tarzan history: when Russ Manning was handpicked by the Burroughs estate to return the strip to its creator's original vision. Manning put together a dream team of assistants in this historic endeavor, including future comics greats Dave Stevens, William Stout, and Mike Royer, creating one of the most loaded rosters in comics history, and a perfect opportunity for new fans to discover the adventures of Viscount Greystoke.

In his introduction to Volume One, William Stout writes, "Russ Manning was a natural storyteller. He may also be one of the most underrated writers in comics. His beautiful art is so captivating that it's easy to understand how it might overshadow his scripts. He was as adept with telling Tarzan tales in contemporary Africa as he was setting Ape Man stories in dinosaur-infested Pal-ul-don."

Reproduced from the Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. file copies, fans can expect TARZAN: THE COMPLETE RUSS MANNING NEWSPAPER STRIPS to receive the same critically acclaimed, award-winning treatment that Dean Mullaney, The Library of American Comics, and IDW Publishing have become renowned for.

A Few Amtorian and Carson References in ERBzine

---

Source of the name "Napier" ~ See www.ERBzine.com/bio 1896: "May 24: The new recruit arrives at Fort Grant, Arizona Territory to join Troop B, 7th U.S. Cavalry. The "Bloody Seventh" had seen action at the Little Bighorn, Wounded Knee and the Chicago Pullman strike. This was the start of many adventures, including a search for the Apache Kid,  separated by long periods of  boredom. He had expected to spend most of his time chasing Apaches but much of his time is
spent on guard duty and digging ditches.

"He passes much of his time sketching and soaking up knowledge about the geography and history of the area. He becomes friends with Carson Napier, a cashiered British Army officer who had served in India and was starting a new life in the USA. "Carson Napier" later becomes the model for the hero of Burroughs' Amtor (Venus) stories, written between 1931 and 1941."

Roland Trenary the leading authority on the works of Mahlon Blaine has recently completed a book on this unique artist who was an illustrator his entire life. 

He died in 1969 and I have been researching him since 1974. 

The Trenary book has over 350 of his works reproduced, plus biography and bibliography. 

He illustrated a few Burroughs books in 1962, including A Fighting Man Of Mars.
