I've got to go with Joe Kubert's DC Tarzan as my favourite Tarzan comic.

I also enjoyed the Dark Horse run, and am enjoying Dynamite's Lord of the Jungle series.

I was thinking specifically of an adaptation of the novel Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle that ran in:

Tarzan #176
http://www.comics.org/issue/21931/

and Tarzan #177...

Those Tarzan panels might be from the old Dell/Gold Key Tarzan comics.

At a guess, "Tarzan, Governor of the Jungle" is actually "Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle" which was one of the Burroughs novels...

Well, if it's a typical Marvel comic of the period, I would expect a lecture from Hank or Jan about how the casino is a triumphant example of free enterprise and for the customer cheating to be...

You definitely want to keep your sage, but in the case of Doctor Strange, wouldn't that be the Ancient One? :tongue:

Now I'm just spitballing, but Taboo was a late 80s horror anthology comic with a one word title that ran for 7 issues, so it meets most of your requirements. I don't know if it featured a bar or not....

The first thing that popped into my head on reading this was Forbidden Tales of Dark Mansion. It had a Louisiana setting, but the main character was fortune teller, not a bartender, and it was a 70s...

I didn't know Denny O'Neil had ever written any Doctor Strange. Somehow it never struck me as his style of book. Just goes to show you can always learn something new about the hobby you love.

The only real competitor to the roller skates for the goofiest component of the armour would be the rotary dial telephone built into the chest plate.

Now I'm starting to wonder if my liking of "Gothic" is inextricably linked to the time in which I read it and the age I was.

A short-haired girl with magic trainers that teleport to other locations sounds to me like Motormouth. And the multiple ongoing stories makes me think it could be Overkill from Marvel UK, which ran...

The first one to leap into my head was Fantomah: a virtually omnipotent jungle goddess with the power to transform herself into a frightening blue phantom/skeleton creature as well as a floating...

It's been a while since I last read this particular arc (it's not one of my favourites), but I assumed that the burning up was some kind of implanted suicide device to destroy his body in event of...

First part of what I consider to be it's best arc. Your mileage may vary.

Um, doesn't that second story mean that Lex Luthor should now know that Superman is Clark Kent? Is it explained anywhere why he forgets, is tricked into thinking he has made a mistake, etc?

My bad. For some reason, I thought Hush had appeared in Batman R.I.P. I must been conflating Batman R.I.P. and Heart of Hush in my head.

What he said. For some reason, I put the name Hush in inverted commas. (I blame posting while I'm tired.)

But my main point was that Morrison seems to have an obsession with Bruce's childhood, and...

Well, it's my opinion and your mileage may vary. 'Blades' is also an excellent arc.

'Prey' is a bit too 'Year One' for my taste.

The childhood friend is definitely not Tommy Elliot, as will become apparent as the story unfolds (although it's possible that it may have had some influence on Morrison's later 'Hush'; an ideas that...

To that list you can add the Hook from Green Arrow Annual #6. One of DC's 'New Blood' heroes, he was blind, one-handed, homeless 'Nam vet who gained superpowers from the bite of an alien parasite.

DC had a brief foray into the Vietnam War in its war books in 'The Hunter' in Our Fighting Forces #99 - 105, about an army captain who goes deep into VC territory to rescue his twin brother; an air...

It's a pretty good one-shot and, coming out in 2006, was one of the last Englehart/Rogers collaborations.

Jonah Hex first appeared in All-Star Western #10 in 1972, so some of those later Marvel characters might have been attempt to create a similar style anti-hero.

My feeling about Marvel's Western characters is that are all interchangable and were basically the same character in different vests, unlike DC's Western heroes. There is no way you could mistake...

So is this the origin of planet Lexor that Lex would rule back in the late Bronze Age when I started reading comics?
