Confession time. I have neither read nor watched any type of Tarzan book or film. Beyond knowing that he lives in the jungle where he was raised by apes and that his girlfriend is Jane, I am quite possibly the biggest Tarzan ignoramus on the planet. That either makes me the best or worst person to review this book.
Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration is written by Scott Tracy Griffin and, speaking as a complete newbie, I loved it. It truly is a celebration of Edgar Rice Burrough’s most endearing character.
The illustrations in books like these are always a highlight for me and this book includes A Lot of fantastic illustrations, including pieces by Boris Vallejo and Frank Frazetta who are known as kings of fantasy illustration. Also included are snippets of Tarzan comics which have appeared in newspapers all over the world. There are lots of great...

I’ve never been much of an admirer of Tarzan, the savage apeman creation of writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. While I can’t say that I didn’t like the character, I was always more into science fiction and thus my interest lay with Burroughs’ other, lesser known creation, John Carter of Mars. That’s not to say that I didn’t hate Tarzan, it’s just that he (and his adventures) seemed one-dimensional and pretty tame. After all, what’s there to do in deepest darkest Africa except fight wild animals?
Thanks to the efforts of writer Scott Tracy Griffin, my knowledge of Tarzan and his world has expanded greatly. Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration is Griffin’s new hardcover tome, a 320-page coffee table book that lays out the history of the character, from the original stories written by Burroughs nearly a century ago to Tarzan’s transfer...

With Tarzan heading back to the big screen in 2014 from director David Yates (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows), now really is the perfect time for a book like Titan Books' Tarzan The Centennial Celebration to be released. The beautifully presented 320-page hardcover shines the spotlight on just about everything and anything you could possibly want to know about the iconic Edgar Rice Burroughs creation as the Lord of the Jungle turns 100 this year. This is an incredibly in-depth and revealing publication, and while I'm no Tarzan expert, it's hard to imagine a single area that the book fails to cover. From his creation to later appearances in comics, novels, musicals, movies and more, this stunning collection delves into the world of this character which author Scott Tracy Griffin (a renowned expert on all things Burroughs) is clearly very, Very passionate about. Despite being packed full of lavish images,...
