Tarzan Beyond #3

Tarzan and Queen Candak uncover the truth behind Blackbeard’s cursed immortality. Following Candak’s guidance, Tarzan ventures beneath the city of Kaji to the supernatural underworld, seeking to strengthen his hunting knife and finally defeat the undead pirates.

Meanwhile, Jane leads Blackbeard and his crew into a trap, challenging their outdated views of women and facing deadly consequences of her own. Amid the chaos, Tarzan reunites with a beloved figure from his past he hasn’t seen in over a century: Kala, his Mangani mother!

Redhot writer Steve Orlando (Scarlet Witch) and legendary artist Renato Guedes (Superman) return to take the Lord of the Jungle into the supernatural underworld in the all-new Tarzan Beyond #3!
