If you're already an admirer of Burne Hogarth's work you'll find "Jungle Tales of Tarzan" to be a feast for your eyes that will require multiple readings to properly take in.

"Compelling but racist" according to crysta. This is thrilling and interesting. Be warned: all the Tarzan series are very racist!
