Reviews

"At the century mark, one of the world's most enduring literary franchises is honored with a gallery of art in Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration." - Huffington Post "Topped off with a look at collectibles, conventions, authorised sequels and more (not to mention a brilliant foreword from big screen Tarzan Ron Ely), there's no doubting the fact that this is a must-have for any fan of Tarzan." - Comic Book Movie "An enormous, glossy volume filled with rare art, movie stills, and insights on every corner of the Tarzan universe." - Flavorwire "Tarzan: The Centennial Celebration is a must buy if you ever loved Tarzan. The book is a perfect way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the jungle man's first appearance." - Wired.com "An awe-inspiring collection that any Tarzan fan would cherish." - Strange Kids Club "The quality of this book as a collector's item is unmatched. It's a brilliant hard cover." - Comic Hype "this magnificent Tarzan tribute volume makes a compelling case that the Ape Man has as strong a grip on our collective imaginations as he always did." - Open Letters Monthly "lovingly detailed artwork and insight." - MTV Geek "Regular AICN readers know that Titan usually knocks books of this ilk out of the park. Even taking into account Titan's lofty pedigree, TARZAN: THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION emerges as magnificently presented, stunningly laid out, and beautifully guided by author Griffin & Co. This may be the company's best work yet" - aintitcool
