Kill the mother, Tarz!

The artwork is fantastic, the morals not so much….

Man, do I hate when the bad guys are smug.

Poor Mama Ape. Her only crime was defending her offspring.

Since Tarzan speaks ape, why doesn’t he point her towards Jim and tell her that’s the real enemy?

Poor plotting by the comic artists, who felt they needed a Tarzan vs. Gorilla combat. Lions and crocs were getting too passe.

Not too happy with Tarzan right now. A small part of me is rooting for Mama Gorilla.

Usually Tarzan would avoid killing a she ape especially one who is only protecting her young

What’s to become of the baby? To save that idiot Tom, you kill the mama. Shame shame on you.

So he’s going to kill a mother protecting her child?

The Gorilla isn’t dead yet, and if so it was to defend an innocent human.
