Lord Greystoke by Jeff Jones-1974


The great painter and fantasy illustrator Jeffrey--now Catherine--Jones posted this remarkable portrait of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan in repose on Facebook this afternoon and she kindly gave permission for me to post it here, also. While the image is wonderfully classic in and of itself, it is of particular interest to us here due to the fact that Gray Morrow--a big ERB fan and later long-time artist on the TARZAN newspaper strip--posed for the painting. Lord Greystoke here is actually Lord GrayMorrow!
Thanks, Catherine!
