Owner's Description
While DC did issue a one-off Tarzan Digest in 1972, Best of DC #1 from 1979 was actually the book that kicked off their digest program.
Ross Andru's great new cover caused many a child like myself to empty our "piggy banks" for .95 cents. Which back then was a somewhat large amount for a comic book. To put it into perspective, in my hometown at least, you could grab yourself 2 slices of pizza and a drink for the same cost at that time.
