Requirements: PDF Reader, 198 MB
Overview: Volume One, published in 1976, features the art of Clinton Pettee, Fred J. Arting, and N. C. Wyeth, reproducing one painting by each, then concentrating on the black-and-white and color work of J. Allen St. John, all of it beautifully reproduced from the original art, with four paintings being done as huge double-page foldouts.

Volume Two, which appeared in 1977, begins with reproductions of 16 of the St. John dustwrappers for which the original art has been lost, followed by a section devoted to Studley Burroughs, another to Hal Foster and a larger one to Burne Hogarth, then deals with the wonderful work of John Coleman Burroughs — including two paintings done as huge double-page foldouts — and finishing up with 6 paintings by Morris Gollub for the Dell Tarzan Comics. Again, almost everything is beautifully reproduced from the original art.

Volume Three, finally issued in 1984 after being held up due to copyright issues with the Frank Frazetta art, which is devoted to Hogarth, Jesse Marsh, Rex Manning; St. John, Frank Schoonover, Gollub, Mahlon Blaine, Roy G. Krenkel, Ed Emsh, Reed Crandall, and Frazetta.
