HEROES
TARZAN
Tarzan is a fictional character, an archetypal feral child raised in the African jungle by Great apes, who later returns to civilization only to largely reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer. Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan first appeared in the novel Tarzan of the Apes (magazine publication 1912, book publication 1914), and then in twenty-five sequels, three authorized books by other authors, and innumerable works in other media, authorized or not.

HISTORY OF TARZAN
During the first half of the twentieth century the American reading public had access to a source of entertainment now long gone: "pulp" magazines. These magazines were printed on cheap paper with a high pulp content (hence the name), wrapped in garishly illustrated covers, and were brimming with every type of fiction imaginable: westerns, romances, science fiction, tales of courtly intrigue, stories of historical adventure, the exploits of hardy explorers in foreign climes. Every issue brought you a handful of short stories and the latest installment of two or three different serials, so you had to buy the next issue (and the next) to find out how the tales ended. And then another serial would begin ...If you happened to be walking by a newsstand in 1912 you might have stopped to look at the October issue of the All-Story magazine. Perhaps the cover caught your eye: a barbarously clad man sits astride a rampaging lion, his knife raised for the kill, as another man (probably the lion's intended dinner) looks on in horror. The title was as exotic as the illustration: "Tarzan of the Apes ~ A Romance of the Jungle." Fifteen cents would have gotten you a copy.

Topps joined the sports cards market in the 1950s becoming a rival to Bowman. After competing with each other for five years Topps bought out Bowman in 1956. Competition still remained however, in the form of Parkhurst hockey cards. Topps produced cards of the United States based National Hockey League teams while Parkhurst covered the Canadian teams. Topps had produced multi-sport photo cards prior to 1950, namely the 1948 Topps Magic Photos but each set was very small and not considered a major set.[1] This trend was consistent with their first baseball and college football issues: the 1950 Feltbacks resembled college pennants; 1951 Magic football included a scratch-off game on the reverse; Red/Blue Backs intended to be a card game; Connie Mack/Current All-Stars are foldable stand-ups. It was in 1952 that Topps released their first truly major card set. The 1957 Topps set featured dimensions of 2-1/2 by 3-1/2 inches which has become known as the standard card size. Below is a list with brief descriptions of Topps trading card products for the 1950s.

Tarzan aired on NBC from 1966 – 1968. The series portrayed Tarzan (played by Ron Ely) as a well-educated character, one who, tired of civilization, had returned to the jungle where he had been raised. The show retained many of the trappings of the classic movie series, including Cheeta, while excluding other elements, such as Jane, as part of the "new look" for the fabled apeman that producer Sy Weintraub had introduced in previous motion pictures starring Gordon Scott, Jock Mahoney, and Mike Henry. CBS aired repeat episodes the program during the summer of 1969.
