Tarzan finds himself the prey in a jungle hunt led by a blowhard Yankee mogul named Sykes.

Lets get into the nitty gritty, Sergio Fernandez Davilas art style, I can't say is overly impressive. He brings a classic cartoony animation that I would associate with most average artists in comics. Im not saying it was bad, it certainly suited that story, it just wasnt anything to call home about. Aside from that, Santosh Kumar Raths colouring helps to kick things up with lots of bright colours in the outdoor atmosphere, and a darkened element as the situation changes from one of happy freedom to captivity. As a side note, very good job on the blood; if you read the book youll know the part of the story I'm talking about. Read Full Review
