Tarzan Shoots An Arrow by Roy Krenkel

As Longfellow once wrote, "I shot an arrow into the air/ it fell to earth/ I know not where."  Actually, Henry, I think you're way ahead of the game, cause that means it didn't come straight back down.  Gravity, after all, can sometimes be a harsh mistress.  The third image is how I first saw this in the DC Korak letters pages.  I guess it was also in the DC Tarzans, but I only got the Koraks.  Kaluta was rock'n the Carson Of Venus back-ups, after all

  1. MANY thanks, Cap'n! The compositional power of this piece immediately impressed me waay back in the 70's. An issue of Korak in my stocking on Christmas morning was a welcome surprise. Kirby and Kaluta on the main stories, then Krenkel on the letters page! THE perfect book!! Have an excellent Christmas, Sir!
