ABOUT
The years have been kind to the lord of the Jungle and his faithful companion Jane. They’ve grown older, wiser, and carved out a peaceful existence after decades of adventuring.
But not all good things are meant to last, as their world becomes threatened when the nefarious Blackbeard the Pirate and his crew lay siege to Tarzan’s homeland in search of the secrets of immortality!
Can Tarzan return to his adventuring ways and save Jane and the rest of the world from Blackbeard’s crew?
Redhot writer Steve Orlando (Scarlet Witch) and legendary artist Renato Guedes (Superman) team up to bring one of the world’s most iconic characters into the future in the all-new TARZAN BEYOND series!
STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS
Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.
In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.
The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
