Tarzan Beyond, Vol. 1

For over a century, blessed with the rejuvenating powers of the Kavuru Spring, Tarzan and Jane have protected the jungle. But their secret to immortality has drawn the attention of an old enemy. Now, their legendary adventures continue in the modern world as they face Captain Blackbeard and his crew of zombie pirates!

The years have been kind to the lord of the jungle and his faithful companion, Jane. They’ve grown older and wiser and carved out a peaceful existence after decades of adventuring.

But not all good things are meant to last, and their world becomes threatened when the nefarious pirate Blackbeard 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?
