Mabu

Mabu made their first appearance in Dell's Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #31 in 1952, stepping onto the page during the final stretch of the Golden Age alongside some of the jungle's most legendary figures — Tarzan himself, John Clayton, Dan-El, Natongo, and Jack Clayton. Over a span of roughly fourteen years, this character carved out a recurring presence across Dell's beloved Tarzan titles, a line celebrated for its lush, adventurous storytelling under creators Gaylord Du Bois and Jesse Marsh. Eleven appearances across Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes make Mabu a genuine piece of that mid-century Dell jungle world — the kind of supporting figure that devoted collectors and Tarzan enthusiasts will recognize as part of what gave those sun-drenched, action-packed issues their rich, populated feel.
