==Tarzan==
The most well-known of Burroughs' creations, Tarzan is a classic "two-fisted tale"; pulpy action-adventure set in darkest Africa, centered around an English nobleman's son whose parents died when he was a baby and who survived because he was taken in by a tribe of [[Frazetta Man|quasi-human apes]] called "Mangani" - later reworked in other media as gorillas, who in the original novel were portrayed as monstrous brutes known as "Bolgani". Tarzan frequently encountered strange ruins and the remnants of lost civilizations, and even weird sorceries. He also had a crossover with one of Burroughs' later pulp worlds, in the form of Pellucidar.
