I've been sort of vaguely collecting this particular printing of Tarzan, with the black covers and awesome covers (This one by Boris Vallejo). They certainly can hit the spot if you're in the mood for them.

This particular one was a bit unique in that Jane has a bit of her own jungle adventure... one of her society friends is mounting an 'expedition' to Africa to look for the secret of eternal youth and offers her a lift.

Of course the plane crashes and stuff happens, which then runs into what Tarzan is looking into... the disappearance of some Waziri girls who where allegedly kidnapped by the mysterious Kuruvu (who, of course, also have the secret to eternal youth).

Tarzan is really not in the book much.. his chapters have as much focus on his monkey and his Waziri warriors as he does, and 1/2 the book is about Jane. Of course she does get capture and has to get saved eventually, but she does get to do a bit of traditional Jungle Queen stuff in the meantime. He side of the plot was quite shocking, actually.

One does wonder how many secret hidden tribes Africa can hold at once, but that's just how Tarzan rolls ;).
