Note générale
The famous character Tarzan was first adapted into newspaper comic strip form in October 1928, in a strip distributed by United Feature Syndicate and illustrated by Prince Valiant creator Hal Foster, first published January 7, 1929, with illustrations by Hal Foster. A full-page Sunday strip started on March 15, 1931, with artwork by Rex Maxon, who was succeeded by Burne Hogarth (1937-1945, 1947-1950). From 1945-1947 the strip was illustrated by Ruben Moreira. John Celardo was the illustrator from 1954-1968.
The last original Tarzan strip ran in July 1972, after which time the strip has been reprinted in a few newspapers.
