The complete, uncensored, magazine version! In one of his early adventures, Tarzan of the Apes visited the mysterious, ruinous city of Opar that dated back to Atlantean times, and was now inhabited by a strange horde of bloodthirsty, apelike priests headed by La, the beautiful high priestess of the Flaming God. Thence he brought back a very little of the great store of ingoted gold hidden deep in a hill, and was rich for life. In the present story you shall learn how and why Tarzan re-turned to the mysterious city, and what he found there - also many other things!

The son of "Tarzan of the Apes" is lured to the jungle. With his companion, Akut, a bull ape, he conquers the wild beasts, blacks and Arabs of the African wilderness and thereby gains the name of Korak, the Killer. The youth thrives on the life of the outdoors; the companionship of the ever-faithful anthropoid and a child of the Wilds, Meriem, to whom he is devoted, gives him four fold courage. With his giant strength he keeps at bay the savages of the forest. Alone he conquers tribes of Arabs and blacks. They are beset by enemies who covet Meriem, but love for his girl-treasure gives Korak superhuman strength to defend her.

The Land that Time Forgot - In the South Pacific is a mountainous island called Caspak. Winged humanoid creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles terrorize each other, and the mixed crew of WW 1 adventurers fight across the island. The People that Time Forgot - Ex-cowboy Tom Billings leads a rescue mission to save Bowen Tyler, the protagonist of The Land That Time Forgot. In the midst of hair-raising adventures, he has more trouble keeping his own skin intact than in finding his friend. Out of Time's Abyss - The Lost world saga continues. It connects the previous two installments, bringing in characters introduced in each. Burroughs completes the revelation of his lost world's unique biological system, only hinted at in the previous installment, in which the slow progress of evolution in the world outside is recapitulated as a matter of individual metamorphosis. This system forms a thematic element serving to unite the three Caspak stories.
