I just noticed that the logo for Marvel's 1970s Tarzan comic is pretty much the same as the earlier DC series - anyone know how this came about? I assume they must have somehow acquired the rights to the logo along with the character, which seems odd. Are there any other examples of this kind of thing with other licensed characters that have changed hands over the years, e.g. Doc Savage, Conan, etc? I'm wondering if that was the logo required by the Burroughs estate in that era no matter who issued a Tarzan product. Can't imagine it was created by Joe Kubert or someone at DC and then "purchased" by Burroughs, but maybe they liked it so much they did. It's essentially the same as the logo on the Neal Adams-illustrated paperbacks, too... And here's a 1983 "action figure" that uses the same logo. Have no idea if it's still being used.   This will probably answer all your questions... Todd Klein's Blog..... kleinletters.com/Blog/logo-study-tarzan-part-1/ |
