Secondly, your observation about the two different Rad Repeatin' Tarzan dolls is interesting, because I can't remember if I ever knew that there were two different versions of the doll, with regard to his hairstyle. It's unfortunate that we live in such a prudish world! But that's just me, plus I collect Tarzan stuff so I'm kinda biased! Just a little! )įirst of all, I must say that that's quite an impressive Tarzan collection! :) Times have certainly changed! Imagine a comic book company making a kids comic book like this nowadays! People have become so politically correct that Marvel would have been torn asunder, not unlike being attacked by Sabor or an angry Kerchak! LOL :) I think it's pretty cool that Marvel went this route and presented the story to kids the way the original novel was written. Of course they obscured his boy parts but had no problem showing his bare behind. Although this was a kids comic book Marvel Comics went ahead an showed Tarzan completely buck naked (shown above and below from issue 2). He doesn't wear a loincloth until toward the end of the book when he first sees another human being in a nearby tribe, who he ends up killing and stealing from. As mentioned above, in the original 1912 novel Tarzan is actually naked throughout most of the story.
