Dan-El

Few characters carry a name quite as mythic-sounding as Dan-El, who made his debut in Dell's Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #31 in 1952, brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Gaylord Du Bois and Jesse Marsh. Rooted firmly in the Golden Age, this figure spent fourteen years woven into the sun-drenched, adventure-rich world of Dell's Tarzan line — sharing pages with Tarzan himself, John Clayton, Boy, and the rest of that beloved jungle cast. With fourteen appearances spread across both Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes, Dan-El is a rewarding discovery for collectors who love digging into the deeper corners of Dell's lush, pulp-inspired wilderness. If you're building out a serious Tarzan run from the early Silver Age transition, keeping an eye out for Dan-El is absolutely worth your while.
