Gone was the taint of Weissmuller at long last and in came original stories as well as new adaptations of Tarzan of the Apes, 'The Return of Tarzan, Jungle Tales of Tarzan, Tarzan the Untamed, Tarzan and the Lion Man and Tarzan and the Castaways.'' The DC run lasted from 1972-1977 with 52 issues. The Gold Key run lasted from 1962-1972 with 75 issues, making it the second longest Tarzan comic.

The series went on to adapt most of the novels and even did stories in the continuity of the Ron Ely television series, in which Cheetah appeared making those stories the last refuge of the Weissmuller taint. Following Dell, Gold Key took over and steadily moved away from the Weismuller taint with Boy revealing himself to in fact be Korak, "Boy" being a nickname.The Dell series lasted for one hundred and thirty issues and went from 1948-1962, making it the longest Tarzan comic on record. The Dell series was a fusion of the Burroughs novels and the Weissmuller films with characters such as Boy appearing as well as Cheetah, though not as much as Boy to the relief of Burroughs purists since Cheetah only appeared in the second story of issue 56. Tarzan first debuted in comic books in 1948 in Dell Comics.Altogether, that explains why The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen only refers to him as "Lord Greystoke". The earlier Tarzan novels are out of copyright in the US, but not in Europe, and The Other Wiki suggests he's also trademarked by the author's company.

The quote at the top of the page was a Beam Me Up, Scotty!, as Tarzan did not say it in any of the books, or even, exactly, in any movie - he just slapped his chest and said "Tarzan," then poked Jane and said "Jane." (In the books, Tarzan was very intelligent, and by the end of the series, spoke something like thirty languages from the late 1950s onwards, the films began to usually depict Tarzan/Greystoke as intelligent and perfectly literate.) However, in the 2013 animated movie the phrase finally does appear. Along the way, Tarzan and his family became immortal, if only in the literary sense. Tarzan's further adventures generally have one of two plots: either Tarzan discovers a Lost World, or he defends his African friends against European villains. However, that same film also explicitly had Tarzan and Jane marry ahead of time.) (In the books, Burroughs actually did have Tarzan and Jane beget a son, Korak, and one of the silents, The Son of Tarzan, featured this character. Instead, he has often been provided with a pet chimpanzee and an adopted son - the latter because the film Tarzan never formally married Jane, and thus was not allowed by the Hays office to actually have gotten her pregnant. Most of the films omit Tarzan's English sojourn and his status as Lord Greystoke. They married and settled in England, where they had a son, but eventually grew tired of civilization and returned to the jungle. After meeting Jane and learning the basics of human interaction, he left the jungle in search of his true love. In the original books, Tarzan was the son of Lord Greystoke, raised by apes after being orphaned in Africa as a baby. Tarzan is the quintessential jungle hero white but at home in Darkest Africa.

First created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1912, Tarzan has since swung through dozens of books, films and TV series, both straight and parodied.
