by Tad

“We bring you Tarzan, that immortal fictional character of Edgar Rice Burroughs, in a new and exciting serial entitled Tarzan and the Diamond of Asher. Deep in the heart of Africa rises a mighty cone-shaped mountain, an extinct volcano, in the huge crater of which lies The Forbidden City of Asher. To reach this stronghold two safaris endure hardships and perils that bring death to some and high adventure to all. One safari is bent on the rescue of the son of its leader. The other, headed by a wily and unscrupulous Oriental, seeks only the Father of Diamonds; and through the intrigue and mystery and the danger moves the majestic figure of Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle.”

Thrilling Strange World Adventures!!!

Unlike Buck Rogers, who began life as a pulp character, Flash Gordon made his first appearance in a comic strip in 1934. A year later, the strip was adapted into The Amazing Interplanetary Adventures of Flash Gordon, a 26 episode weekly radio serial. The series followed the strip very closely, amounting to a week-by-week adaptation of the Sunday strip for most of its run.
