All hail Scott Dunbier, IDW editor, for this most mighty of artistic formats. On the hundredth anniversary of Tarzan, we get a real treat.

Joe Kubert is one of the most lauded artists in the history of comics, a true living legend. He has been a vital creative force since the 1940s and remains so to this day. He has had defining runs on Hawkman, Enemy Ace, Tor, Sgt. Rock, and many others. Among his career highlights is Tarzan of the Apes, and Kubert's rendition could arguably be called the definitive comic adaptation of the Ape-man.

"To have the Tarzan stories I drew commemorate the 100th anniversary of a strip I fell in love with as a kid is the thrill of a lifetime," said Joe Kubert, writer and artist of all the stories in this Artist's Edition.

This Artist's Edition collects six complete Kubert Tarzan adventures, including the classic four-part origin story. Each page is vividly reproduced from the original art and presented as no comics readers have seen before. For fans of Kubert and Tarzan, this new entry in the Eisner-winning Artist's Edition line must be seen to be believed!

JOE KUBERT'S TARZAN OF THE APE: ARTIST'S EDITION ($100, hardcover, black and white, 156 pages, 12" x 17") will be available in stores September 2012.

Just when his new Nite Owl book with son Adam Kubert is hitting the shelves as well.
