This is from DC's "Tarzan lord of the jungle" #232.

The lead story "Tarzan and the lion-man" was written and drawn by Joe Kubert.

DC Comics' two major villains, Lex Luthor and the Joker, are basically Doc Savage and the Shadow with Evil Mirror Universe goatees slapped on.

I can see some truth in that observation. But I think it mostly stems from the fact that Supes was largely inspired by Doc Savage and Batman and the Shadow and naturally their respective arch-villains somewhat mirror them.

That's a superb counterpoint, and one that I didn't think of at all.

Almost all DC guys have a counter-player... Reverse Flash, Sinestro, Cheetah... Even Swamp Thing's Arcane was sort of Man vs the Elemental Earth vibe.

Always liked Joe Kubert's art.
