5. Critical Reception & Legacy (1995–Present)
| Publication | Verdict | |-------------|---------| | Comics Journal | “Uncomfortable, necessary. One of the few comics to take Burroughs’ erotic subtext seriously.” | | Wizard Magazine (1995) | “Too mature for younger readers. A feminist reclamation of a sexist icon.” | | Modern Retrospective (2021) | “Outdated in some racial dynamics (Tarzan as ‘noble savage’), but radical for its focus on female shame as a plot engine.” |
“I am not ashamed of loving a man who walks like a leopard. I am ashamed of the England that taught me to call that love a sin.”
— Jane Porter, internal monologue, page 18
