DC Comics took over the series in 1972, publishing ''Tarzan'' #207–258 from April 1972 to February 1977. DC continued the numbering from the Gold Key series, rather than starting over at #1.

The foreign publishers did not want adaptations. Roy Thomas felt they should do adaptations. They wanted the Russ Manning versions, but John Buscema wanted to make it as much like the Joe Kubert version as possible.

Everything that made the books commercial in America, made them uncommercial overseas.Marvel did not continue the ''Tarzan Family'' title, publishing instead a series on Burroughs' primary non-Tarzan character, ''
