"Tarzan the Invincible" is a novel written by Edgar Rice Burroughs, the fourteenth in his series of books about the title character Tarzan. The novel was originally serialized in the magazine Blue Book from October, 1930 through April, 1931 as "Tarzan, Guard of the Jungle."

The novel comes of the heels of what many consider the "peak" of the series, but re-visiting Opar is a breath of fresh air. Formulaic as its predecessors are, it's still genuine escapist adventure-reading. Tarzan's pet monkey friend, Nkima, adds flavor to the story, which ERB did well to incorporate--and not a book too soon!

Plot summary

Tarzan prevents Russian communists from looting the lost city of Opar.

Comic adaptations

The book has been adapted into comic form by Gold Key Comics in "Tarzan" nos. 182-183.
