Elmo Lincoln and Enid Markey starred in the first Tarzan film, the silent "Tarzan of the Apes" (1918), adapted from the first novel. The film was a smash hit and was followed by the sequel "The Romance of Tarzan" (1918). Six more silent films and serials followed, and dozens of talkies. Learn more in the book "Tarzan on Film".

In this authoritative volume, writer and historian Scott Tracy Griffin traces the development of the history-making Tarzan franchise, from the motion-picture industry’s early silents and serials, through the high point of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer era featuring Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O’Sullivan, to modern worldwide hits like Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes and Walt Disney Studios’ animated Tarzan.
