Michael Kaluta' s early professional art appeared in pulp magazines, and the earliest comic book work appeared in various Charlton Comics. DC Comics was Kaluta's main focus of the 1970s; drawing interiors and, eventually, covers for their House of Mystery and House of Secrets comic books. Covers for both Detective Comics and Batman were the next step, and, eventually, the nod to draw DC Comics' 1970s versions of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Carson of Venus and pulp icon, The Shadow . The new century saw a Madame Xanadu five-issue comic book story arc, and Chaos King , a special 30-page stand-alone book in Marvel's Chaos War . Pauline Francis's books include Drake's Drummer Boy, The Little Giant: the Story of Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Television Man: the Story of John Logie Baird. Jane Tattersfield has illustrated three books accompanying television series: The India File, Celebrating India and Stories of Faith, as well as some of the Dress Sense costume books for Belitha Press.

Tarzan of the Apes
In 1888, in a makeshift cabin at the edge of the West African rainforest, a child is born to Lord and Lady Greystoke, a castaway English diplomat and his young wife. When his father is killed by the savage king ape Kerchak, and his mother dies of natural causes, the infant John Clayton is adopted by the she-ape Kala. Named 'Tarzan (White Skin' in the ape language) the child is raised in ignorance of his human heritage. As Tarzan reaches adulthood, his strength and agility, quickness of mind, and skill with his father's knife make him the most feared and respected creature in the jungle. But when he encounters others of his kind, including the beautiful Baltimore socialite Jane Porter, he embarks on a far-flung quest for his birthright - the ways of so-called civilized man.The full text can be downloaded here.
