Tarzan betrayed! He finds himself drugged and helpless, delivered into the hands of the Evil priests of Opar. Because of her love for Tarzan, La, High Priestess of the Flaming God, once again saves him. But she has been betrayed and threatened as well. To save her, Tarzan must flee with her into the legendary Valley of Diamonds, with Jad-bal-ja, his faithful golden lion. Ahead lies a land where savage gorillas rule over servile men. And behind, Estaban Miranda—who looks exactly like Tarzan—plots treachery. This version contains the original photoplay illustrations by J. Allen St. John.
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.
