QUOTE: 1. I have just read Tarzan of the Apes in a beautiful edition from 1975 (as old as I am) with a cover by Neal Adams. Now the cover has awakened a vague and distant memory from my childhood of reading a Tarzan comic in Swedish which as far as I recall reminds me of Adams' interpretation of the character. Now I've gone through the checklist on Neal Adams website and found a little ERB materia by Adams listedl there but nothing that I can 100% confirm as Tarzan. I've discussed this with Michael Connell elsewhere and he was also of the mind that Adams were doing some Tarzan stuff for DC in the 70s, any insight you guys can provide would be appreciated.

To my knowledge Adams didn't do any work on DC's ERB titles or strips. Outside of the book covers the only Adams Tarzan work I can recall is a mini-comic that came with a model kit. I bought one in the mid-seventies so it would be of the right vintage.

QUOTE: 2. I saw that someone mentioned a Pellucidar comic above, which brings me to my other question. As my Tarzan memories have started resurfacing I find myself remembering a beautiful hardbound edition in Swedish publication which I think featured Tarzan but at the very least featured what must be Pellucidar from I've been able to deduce (prehistoric world, ape people (possibly blue) with tails, etc (vague memories as stated) – would anyone know what this could be? Are there any Tarzan in Pellucidar comics or what is the Pellucidar comic mentioned about? Who wrote and drew it? Where could I possibly find this?

I'm pretty sure Russ Manning did an adaptation of ERB's "Tarzan At The Earth's Core". Possibly for the Tarzan Sunday strip. So that might be what you saw. DC reprinted some of Manning's work when Tarzan was 100 Pager back in the 1970s. 

One interesting thing about ERB was that most of his major characters inhabited the same universe. Connected for the most part by the "Gridley Wave." Too bad he never wrote "Tarzan on Mars" or "Tarzan on Venus"

Burne Hogarth did a Pellucidar storyline in the late 40's, Doug Wildey did a short run of stories for the Gold Key Tarzan book in 68, Russ Manning did it in the strips in the early 70's, Buscema did a short Tarzan visit to Pellucidar in the Marvel series, Gray Morrow did it in the strip in the 80's, Walt Simonson did a Tarzan VS Predator at the Earth's Core, Mike Grell did the dark Tarzan series that ended up in Pellucidar, Tom Yeates continued that story in Dark Horse Presents, Morrow did it in the strip once again in '99.

Kubert never did a Pellucidar story (probably because DC had a seperate David Innes story going on as a back-up feature).  DC reprinted some of the Manning strips, and had Tarzan in Pellucidar in one of the Tarzan Family issues, but not by Kubert.

This came out in 1988.

QUOTE: Joakim Jahlmar Well, according to the checklist on Neal Adams' homepage, he did do two issues ? # 2 (October/November 1972) & # 3 (December/January 1972/73) ? of WEIRD WORLDS OF EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS for DC. The two stories or installments of the story(?) (written by Len Wein, I may add)are listed as "Slaves of the Mahars" and "Temple of the Damned" (12 pgs each). I am not sure whether these tales are actually Tarzan stories, but they are clearly ERB stories (and may well be the Adams material I saw when a child).

I did some checking at the GCD site. Turns out those stories were ones Adams helped ink over Alan Weiss pencils. He was part of a group credited as the "Crusty Bunkers" and included artists like Adams,  Frank Brunner and Bernie Wrightson. They would get together to help each other out of dreaded deadline dooms, IICR. The stories in question were part of the Pellucidar strip.
