Notes:
In the beginning "Tarzan Gigante" had stories produced in Italy,
with drawings by Guido Zamperoni, Lino Jeva and Ferdinando Fusco, and for
Sweden, albeit with Spanish and South-American artists. It also carried
"Korak" stories by Russ Manning, Nat Edson and Dan Spiegle. With #13 it
began reproducing DC Comics material by Joe Kubert (issues #13-18, 20 and
22) and Frank Reyes, plus "Korak" by Frank Thorne, Murphy Anderson, Alex
Niño and Rudy Florese. After the end of the first series of magazine "Tarzan
Extra" in 1973 the "Gigante" proceeded with the publication of Burne Hogarth's
Sundays from the 1940-44 period (issues #19, 21 and 23-25) and also Bob
Lubbers' work (issues #17, 18). The very first issues also had complementary
stories from Dell comic books, "Mission: Impossible" by Jack Sparling,
"Daktari" by Bob Jenney, and also "Pantera Nera" by Guido Zamperoni. Posters
were inserted into issues 1, 3-5, 8, 11-14, 16 and 23. Issues #2 and 19 had
bonus stickers, issues #6 and 7 had card inserts, and #9 had tattoos gifts.
Format and page count varied.
The first six issues were supplements to "Tarzan - Vedette della T.V." from the same publisher, but with issue #7, dated April 1972, it became completely autonomous. Information provided by Leonardo De Sá.
Followed by a second series single issue followed with third series began in December 5, 1979 and ended with issue #4, dated September 5, 1980.
