Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle is a novel by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, generally considered the eleventh in his series of twenty-four books about the title character Tarzan (the previous book, Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins, being omitted from the enumeration on the grounds that it was written for younger readers). The story was first published as a serial in Blue Book Magazine from December 1927 through May 1928; it first appeared in book form in a hardcover edition from A. C. McClurg in September 1928.

Plot summary

Tarzan finds an outpost of European knights and crusaders from a "forbidden valley" hidden in the mountains, whose ancestors had gone astray en route to the Holy Land and ended up in the depth of Africa. They still maintain a medieval European way of life in the 20th century and have split into two mutually-hostile factions. Tarzan's lion ally Jad-bal-ja puts in an appearance late in the book.

Comic book adaptations

The book has been adapted into comic form by Gold Key Comics in Tarzan nos. 176-177, dated August–September 1969, with a script by Gaylord DuBois. Part of the art was based on lay-outs by Russ Manning.

And the Novel was the inspiration for a very similar plot line in the Filmation animated series, Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, first season (1976) episode 9, Tarzan and the Knights of Nimmr.
