Tarzan is the English Lord John Clayton, Viscount Greystoke.  He is the hero of a series of novels, beginning in 1914, written by American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs, and a series of movies, beginning in 1918.  He is most memorably portrayed on film by former Olympic swimmer Johnny Weissmuller, beginning in 1932, and on television by Ron Ely, beginning in 1966.  However, my favorite depiction was in the Filmation animated television series beginning in 1976.

Hulk Hogan is the ring name for professional wrestler Terry Bollea.  He began his professional wrestling career in 1977, emerged as a breakthrough star in Vince McMahon's groundbreaking wrestling promotion World Wrestling Federation (W.W.F.) in 1983, took his substantial following him with him to its rival World Championship Wrestling (W.C.W.) in 1993.  He also had a memorable scene fighting Sylvester Stallone's boxing champion Rocky Balboa in the film Rocky III.

Here, the ape man and lord of the jungle puts his legendary fighting skills on the line in the ring against the world famous wrestling champion Hulk Hogan. 

This eleven-page series "Hulk Hogan vs. Tarzan by jackcrowder" was commissioned from an artist through DeviantART in 2021.

These pictures are fan art and intended to raise interest in and appreciation of the Edgar Rice Burroughs character Tarzan.  I introduced Hulk Hogan as a rival and opponent.  These are original scenes and did not appear in any comic book, page, or strip.
