TARZAN LORD OF THE JUNGLE #25

Cover shows strong gloss and vivid color with sharp corners and minimal spine stress; a light vertical crease is visible running through the mid-section of the cover near the title logo. The comic is housed in a protective sleeve which shows some minor surface wrinkling but this appears to be the sleeve itself rather than the cover. No significant creases, tears, or color breaks are visible at the edges, though the plastic sleeve creates some glare that could obscure minor defects. Interior pages and back cover were not assessed.

Tarzan Lord of the Jungle #25 arrived in mid-1979 as Marvel's licensed adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs' signature character approached the close of its run. The series translated Burroughs' pulp-adventure mythos into the Marvel house style, following earlier company efforts to capture licensed properties during a period when Marvel actively pursued adaptations of popular literary and film characters. By issue #25 the title had settled into a steady, unremarkable groove of jungle-adventure storytelling without any first appearances, deaths, or landmark creative shifts tied to this specific number.

Market data reflects a book with limited collector demand: certified population is modest across the grade spectrum, sales are sparse even at the top grade of 9.8, and no meaningful transaction history exists in the low or mid grades. The absence of raw-grade sales data across most of the certified spectrum indicates a book that rarely commands enough interest to generate consistent tracked sales, with value concentrated almost entirely in presentation quality at the highest certified tier.

This issue trades as a bulk-bin or discount-box title in low and mid grades, appealing mainly to Tarzan or Burroughs completists assembling a full run rather than character-key hunters. High-grade certified copies see modest premiums driven by scarcity of well-preserved newsstand copies rather than any narrative significance, making this a low-cost entry point for collectors building out Marvel's licensed-adaptation era rather than a book pursued for investment appreciation.
