Tarzan was one of his first assignments, with the iconic character's first original comic-book appearance in Dell Four-Color Comics #134. Tarzan #2 would begin Marsh's long-term collaboration with writer Gaylord DuBois. Their terrific work drew admiration and respect from readers and peers-Russ Manning among them - and Marsh's art inspired future comics creators from Richard Corben to Los Bros. Hernandez
