began newspaper serialization in January 1914 in the New York Evening World and The De Moine Daily News with one illustration each. These two appearances were quickly followed by the standard serialization with illustrations by G. Busch with at least 25 illustrations. It began in the January 6, 1913 issue and ran for 46 installments. There were two new illustrations by an unknown artist. In 1915 the Philadelphia Evening Public Ledger ran the story with eight new illustrations. |
Albert Payson Terhune, editor of the Evening World, agreed to purchase the New York City newspaper serial rights for "The Ape-Man." ("The Return of Tarzan") He wrote, "For these, Mr. Tennant, the managing editor, commissions me to offer you $300. This is just six times the sum we paid the Munsey Company for `Tarzan of the Apes'. ..." Ed's acceptance of course was prompt. The vision of a nationwide syndicated outlet for his stories led to his insistence upon one type of sales contract: magazine editors could purchase first serial rights only. Through inexperience he had surrendered the lucrative rights to "Tarzan of the Apes." He intended to take the necessary precautions with future works. ~ Ref: Porges p. 256
