Tarzan the Terrible was first published in Argosy All Story Weekly (February 12, 19, 26, March 5, 12, 19, 26, 1921). The first hardcover edition was published by A.C. McClurg, June 20, 1921. The dust jacket and nine sepia plates were done by J. Allen St. John.
Lieutenant Obergatz had fled in terror from the seeking vengeance of Tarzan of the Apes. And with him, by force, he had taken Tarzan's beloved mate, Jane. Now the ape-man was following the faint spoor of their flight, into a region no man had ever penetrated. The trail led across seemingly impassable marshes into Pal-ul-don – a savage land where primitive Waz-don and Ho-don fought fiercely, wielding knives with their long, prehensile tails – and where mighty triceratops still survived from the dim dawn of time. And far behind, relentlessly pursuing, came Korak the Killer.
