I haven't seen anything of the Tarzan strip apart from a photo of a
cover in a book I have. I have an adaptation of Jewel in the Skull by
James Cawthorn. It also has an interview with him where he says that he
was the Tarzan artist, so there may be some similarity after all!

I haven't heard of that one, but I would love to see it, as I am rather
fond of Druillet's work.
