“Tarzan’s Savage Fury” (ターザンの真激), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 1952, B2 Size (51 × 73 cm) ZA19

This is an original Japanese B2 poster issued in Japan for the theatrical release of Tarzan’s Savage Fury (1952), the fast-paced jungle adventure starring Lex Barker as Tarzan, with Dorothy Hart as Jane and Patrice Wymore featured prominently, alongside Alan Hale Jr. and others. Produced in the early golden era of post-war adventure cinema, this title delivers the classic Tarzan formula—lush jungle peril, tribal conflict, and pulpy romance—captured here in one of the most dynamic and visually thrilling Japanese campaign designs of the period.

Poster design

A superb example of 1950s Japanese illustrated poster art—bold, painterly, and packed with action. The composition is dominated by a heroic, muscular Tarzan rendered in rich, realistic brushwork, flanked by Jane and a second female figure in heightened melodramatic pose. The sheet explodes with narrative vignettes: charging jungle animals, crocodile attack imagery, fighting figures, and wildlife arranged around the central trio, creating that classic “everything is happening” adventure-poster energy. The huge vertical Japanese title 「ターザンの真激」 in saturated blue on bright yellow is pure Showa-era impact, while the English title TARZAN’S SAVAGE FURY sits boldly across the centre in dramatic pulp lettering. A genuinely frame-stopping piece—this is the kind of poster that instantly transforms a room.
