Tarzan: The Lost Adventure (Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan: Comics)

This book is supposedly an expansion of an 83 page Tarzan partial found in ERB's papers after his death. Joe Lansdale was selected to finish it.
Now, I love Joe Lansdale's work, and I love ERB's work, but I didn't find this posthumous collaboration to work very well. I just don't think the writing style of these two writers is compatible.
The book was mainly of interest to Burroughsphiles, I think.

My good friend DC (thanks a lot!)
It would be much higher except for the fact that some dumb comic book reader finished the book and changed the rules that Mr. Burroughs set up. Ed couldn't finish it due to his death, so some nut comes along and finishes it and ruined it. So, Edgar's part gets a 4, and the dope gets a -3 which equals up to a score of 1.
Burroughs final, partial Tarzan manuscript updated and finished by Big Joe Lansdale, and man, did they pick the right guy for the job! Exciting jungle adventure, which I enjoyed more than any of the original Tarzan's! Swell!
I have the original 4-part version that Dark Horse Comics did of this series, it was a great re-introduction to fans of ERB's books or bringing in new fans.
