When a ship mutinies off the coast of a remote African island,
its passengers - Lord Greystoke and his wife - are seconds
from doom, before an omen saves them - a fiery meteor from
the heavens. This meteor has travelled all the way from Krypton.
The Man of Steel is raised from birth by apes, but is confused
and frightened by his own powers. Meanwhile, on the Greystoke
estate, the young Lord Greystoke is distant and troubled,
almost as if he knows his place is elsewhere...
Sons
of the Jungle is
an excellent alternate universe story which looks at might
have happened it Superman's spacecraft had landed somewhere
other than Smallville. Lord Greystoke potters around looking
lost and unhappy with his lot, while Superman is unsure of
what use his powers are. As you can imagine it's not long
before the two misfits are brought together.
Ms
Lane and Jane make appearances and the whole book will give
a warm glow to Superman and Tarzan fans alike.
The
reproduction is wonderful, with Titan Books spoiling us with
some beautifully reprinted artwork. There is the usual cover
reprints at the back of the book along with a few production
sketches which add a nice touch.
A
great work of art that will appeal to everyone.
