Early in the transformation of comic strips to comic books, United Features Syndicate published Comics on Parade as a showcase for its most popular strips, including Tarzan, Li'l Abner and Nancy. Tarzan manages to escape the lost city of Opar, but now he must go back after Jane, in an adaptation of The Return of Tarzan with art by Rex Maxon. Slats and his pals help O'Kelly the cop. Looy Dot Dope is knocked unconscious while playing pool, and the next thing he knows, he's in a Flash Gordon-like fantasy world populated by beautiful women. Plus a Li'l Abner storyline by Al Capp, and an illustrated biography of screen legend Katharine Hepburn.
