About this Item

An uncommon issue of the mostly-fiction magazine, in "very good" condition with cover illustration (Tarzan draws his bow on a snarling tiger) still bright. Some fraying to fore-edge of the front wrap where it overhangs the text block, as usual. Large octavo (6-7/8 X 9-7/8 inches.) The first 10 chapters of the Tarzan adventure occupy 21 ad-free pages of this issue, said pages moderately age-toned but still flexible and easily read, well illustrated with depictions of the adventurers' predictable encounters with outsized prehistoric beasts . . . and tigers, for some reason. Full-color back page ad for Lucky Strikes (in original green-and-red pack), illustrated by Winsor McCay, compares smoking to adopting "sensible modern swimming attire," declaring men and women can both now sensibly smoke with "No Throat Irritation - No Cough" because "It's toasted." (There is a 1-inch by 1/4-inch scrape to edge of this ad, please see scan.) Other fiction by Rollin Brown, Harold Titus, Robert Winchester (Texas Rangers), Charles V. Brereton (loyal sheep dogs), Lemuel De Bra ("The Dedham Mansion Case"), etc. 200 pp., reduced from $250. Seller Inventory # 010682
