Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan #72
In "Tarzan and the Sable Lion," Tarzan encounters a quiet moment of connection when young Mabu, a gifted weaver, completes a small piece of work in the hut of Chatanga the Weaver. As Chatanga returns and warmly praises the boy’s skill, gifting him a loom and threads, the bond between mentor and apprentice becomes clear—leaving Mabu with both a cherished keepsake and a bittersweet farewell. Cover by George Wilson, with inks by the same, captures the tender scene with quiet dignity.
