⚠ AI-Estimated / Approximate Condition Profile

Cover shows strong gloss and vivid color with sharp corners and no visible creases or color breaks. There is a slight bend/wave visible near the upper left corner of the price box area and minor surface handling wear, but overall the spine appears tight with no major stress lines visible. The book is in a protective sleeve which limits full assessment of edges; interior and back cover were not assessed.

// Archive commentary

Tarzan Lord of the Jungle #15 is a 1979 installment of Marvel Comics' license-based adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero, part of a series that ran twenty-nine issues from 1977 to 1979. The title arrived after Marvel had already found success with Burroughs properties in black-and-white magazine form, and the color comic continued to adapt and extend Tarzan's exploits for a newsstand audience during the tail end of the Bronze Age's licensed-adventure boom.

As bulk stock, this issue carries no premium in the standard market data and trades close to cover price in circulated grades, which is typical for mid-run issues of a licensed adventure title that never generated a breakout first appearance or storyline widely cited by collectors. Demand is driven almost entirely by Burroughs completists and Marvel Bronze Age readers assembling full runs rather than by speculative interest, and the book does not appear on any meaningful key-issue list.

Collectors of this issue are typically series or character completists rather than investors, and it moves through longbox and online bulk listings rather than featured auction lots. Raw copies in typical circulated condition sell for a few dollars, while a high-grade slabbed example can command a modest premium reflecting scarcity in top grade rather than any inherent story significance — a pattern common across the run.
