Release
Frank Miller's Sin City Comes To The World's Largest
Online Casino
Gibraltar
- 17th June 2011 - Following up on last week’s
release of Frank Miller’s Sin City: The Hard
Goodbye at Digital DarkHorse comes more exciting news
around this legendary title. Sin City has now entered
the online gaming world, with a new game at PartyCasino.com
This new five-reel, fifty-line slot features art and
story from the widely acclaimed series by comics legend
Frank Miller.
When
Sin City originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents:
Fifth Anniversary Special in April 1991, it was clear
that the face of the comics medium had changed forever.
Since that time, Miller’s groundbreaking comics
noir has found its way into the public consciousness
with toys, games, and even a feature-length motion
picture. Frank Miller’s Sin City remains one
of the most stylized works in the history of the medium,
drawing heavily from film noir, including its use
of shadow and stark backgrounds. The black-and-white
comic was perfectly suited to the original format
of Dark Horse’s flagship anthology, with occasional
spot usage of primary colors added to later volumes
and editions.
"Frank
Miller’s Sin City is a very different slot to
any other we have launched in recent times. The striking
artwork and mature content mean this isn’t a
game for the faint hearted," said a spokesman
for PartyCasino.com
There
are five featured games, which win the player free
spins and multipliers: “Straight to Hell,”
“The Hard Goodbye,” “He Never Screams,”
“Deadly Little Miho,” and “Just Get
Warmed Up.” The games feature the series’
main characters: Hartigan, Nancy, Miho, Marv, Kevin,
the Yellow B*stard, and Dwight. The game includes
mature content and scenes of violence, nudity, and
depravation.
PartyCasino.com
has the most frequent game launches in the industry
and offers over 160 games, including over 100 slots.
PartyCasino.com
pays out easily over $10 million EVERY DAY to players.
“The Big One” is structured as a five-tiered
pool. The highest tier—Colossal
Cash—seeds at $1.5 million, the biggest online
jackpot seed in the industry, and currently stands
at over $1.6 million.
About
Dark Horse Comics

Tarzan
Tarzan
is a fictional character, an archetypal feral child
raised in the African jungle by fictional great apes,
who later returns to civilization only to largely
reject it and return to the wild as a heroic adventurer.
Created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan first appeared
in the novel Tarzan of the Apes (magazine publication
1912, book publication 1914), and then in twenty-three
sequels and innumerable works in other media, authorized
or not.
The
Tarzan character
Tarzan
is the son of a British Lord and Lady who were marooned
on the West coast of Africa by mutineers. When Tarzan
was a year old, his mother died of natural causes,
and his father was killed by Kerchak, leader of the
ape tribe into which Tarzan was adopted. Kerchak's
tribe of apes is known as the Mangani, Great Apes
of a species unknown to science. Kala is his ape mother.
Tarzan (White-skin) is his ape name; his English name
is John Clayton III, Lord Greystoke (the formal title
is Viscount Greystoke according to Burroughs in Tarzan,
Lord of the Jungle; Earl of Greystoke in later, non-canonical
sources, notably the 1984 movie Greystoke). As a young
adult, he meets a young American woman, Jane Porter,
who along with her father and others of their party
is marooned at exactly the same spot on the African
coast where Tarzan's parents were twenty years earlier.
When she returns to America, he leaves the jungle
in search of her, his one true love. In later books,
Tarzan and Jane marry and he lives with her for a
time in England. They have one son, Jack, who takes
the ape name Korak ("the Killer"). Tarzan
is contemptuous of the hypocrisy of civilization,
and he and Jane return to Africa, making their home
on an extensive estate that becomes a base for Tarzan's
later adventures.
In Tarzan, Burroughs created an extreme example of
a hero figure largely unalloyed with character flaws
or faults. He is described as being Caucasian, extremely
athletic, tall, handsome, and tanned, with grey eyes
and black hair. Emotionally, he is courageous, loyal
and steady. He is intelligent and learns new languages
easily. He is presented as behaving ethically, at
least by Burroughs' definitions, in most situations,
except when seeking vengeance under the motivation
of grief, as when his ape mother Kala is killed in
Tarzan of the Apes, or when he believes Jane has been
murdered in Tarzan the Untamed. He is deeply in love
with his wife and totally devoted to her, and in numerous
situations where other women express their attraction
to him. Tarzan, politely but firmly declines their
attentions. When presented with a situation where
a weaker individual or party is being preyed upon
by a stronger foe, Tarzan invariably takes the side
of the weaker party. In dealing with other men Tarzan
is firm and forceful. With male friends he is reserved
but deeply loyal and generous. As a host he is likewise
generous and gracious. As a leader he commands devoted
loyalty.
In contrast to these noble characteristics, Tarzan's
philosophy embraces an extreme form of "return
to nature". Although he is able to pass within
society as a civilized individual, he prefers to "strip
off the thin veneer of civilization", as Burroughs
often puts it. His preferred dress is a knife and
a loincloth of animal hide, his preferred abode is
a convenient tree branch which happens to be nearby
when he desires to sleep, and his favored food is
raw meat, killed by himself; even better if he is
able to bury it a week so that putrefaction has had
a chance to tenderize it a bit.
Tarzan's primitivist philosophy was absorbed by countless
fans, amongst whom was Jane Goodall, who describes
the Tarzan series as having a major influence on her
childhood. She states that she felt she would be a
much better spouse for Tarzan than his fictional wife,
Jane, and that when she first began to live among
and study the chimpanzees she was fulfilling her childhood
dream of living among the great apes just as Tarzan
did.
Rudyard Kipling's Mowgli has been cited as a major
influence on Edgar Rice Burroughs' creation of Tarzan.
Mowgli was also an influence of a number of other
"wild boy" characters; see Feral Children
in Mythology and Fiction.
Skills
and abilities
In many ways, Tarzan's jungle upbringing gives him
abilities above and beyond those of ordinary humans.
These abilities include climbing, clinging, and leaping
as well as any great ape. He uses hanging vines to
swing at fast speeds, a skill likely acquired because
of his primate upbringing.
His strength, speed, agility, reflexes, flexibility,
and swimming ability are above average in comparison
to most humans. He has wrestled full grown bull apes
and gorillas, rhinos, crocodiles, anacondas, sharks,
and even dinosaurs (when he visited Pellucidar).
He is capable of communicating with every species
of animal in the jungle, short of predators. He can
recover from wounds that would kill normal men, such
as gunshot wounds to the head. He was trained as a
soldier in World War I and possesses advanced learning
skills which enabled him to teach himself how to read
with nothing but a few books. He is attacked by a
sorcerer who is using a magic rock for mind control,
only to discover Tarzan is immune to mental probing.
Eventually, Tarzan becomes immortal due to a witch
doctor's potion.
Literature
Tarzan
(book series)
Tarzan has been called one of the best-known literary
characters in the world.[6] In addition to more than
two dozen books by Burroughs and a handful more by
authors with the blessing of Burroughs' estate, the
character has appeared in films, radio, television,
comic strips, and comic books. Numerous parodies and
pirated works have also appeared.
Science fiction author Philip José Farmer wrote
Tarzan Alive!, a biography of Tarzan utilizing the
frame device that he was a real person. In Farmer's
fictional universe, Tarzan, along with Doc Savage
and Sherlock Holmes, are the cornerstones of the Wold
Newton family. Farmer also wrote two books, "Hadon
of Ancient Opar" and "Flight to Opar",
set in distant past and giving the antecedents of
the lost city of Opar, which plays an important role
in the Tarzan books.
Even though the copyright on Tarzan of the Apes has
expired in the United States of America, the name
Tarzan is still protected as a trademark of Edgar
Rice Burroughs, Inc. Also, the work remains under
copyright in some other countries where copyright
terms are longer.
Critical reception
While Tarzan of the Apes met with some critical success,
subsequent books in the series received a cooler reception
and have been criticized for being derivative and
formulaic. The characters are often said to be two-dimensional,
the dialogue wooden, and the storytelling devices
(such as excessive reliance on coincidence) strain
credulity. While Burroughs is not a polished novelist,
he is a vivid storyteller, and many of his novels
are still in print. In 1963, author Gore Vidal wrote
a piece on the Tarzan series that, while pointing
out several of the deficiencies that the Tarzan books
have as works of literature, praises Edgar Rice Burroughs
for creating a compelling "daydream figure".
Despite critical panning, the Tarzan stories have
been amazingly popular. Fans love his melodramatic
situations and the elaborate details he works into
his fictional world, such as his construction of a
partial language for his great apes.
Since
the beginning of the 1970s, Tarzan books and movies
have often been criticized as being blatantly racist.
The early books give an overwhelmingly negative and
stereotypical portrayal of native Africans, both Arab
and Black. In The Return of Tarzan, Arabs are "surly
looking" and say things like "dog of a Christian",
while blacks are "lithe, ebon warriors, gesticulating
and jabbering". Other ethnic groups and social
classes are likewise rendered as stereotypes; this
was the custom in popular fiction of the time. A Swede
has "a long yellow moustache, an unwholesome
complexion, and filthy nails" and Russians cheat
at cards. The aristocracy (excepting the House of
Greystoke) and royalty are invariably effete. In later
books, there is an attempt to portray Africans in
a more realistic light. For example, in Tarzan's Quest,
while the hero is still Tarzan, and the Black Africans
relatively primitive, they are portrayed as individuals,
with good and bad traits, and the main villains have
white skins. Burroughs never does get over his distaste
for European royalty, though.
Burroughs' opinions, made known mainly through the
narrative voice in the stories, reflect common attitudes,
widely held in his time, which in a 21st-century context
would be considered racist and sexist. The author
is not especially mean-spirited in his attitudes.
His heroes do not engage in violence against women
or in racially motivated violence. Still, the attitudes
of a superior-inferior relationship are plain and
occasionally explicit; according to James Loewen's
Sundown Towns, this may be a vestige of Burroughs
having been from Oak Park, Illinois, a former Sundown
town (a town that forbids non-whites from living within
it)--or it may very well be the fact these were common
attitudes at the turn of the century.
Also, some defenders of the Tarzan series argue that
some of the words Burroughs uses to describe Africans,
such as "savage", were generally understood
to have a different and less offensive meaning in
the early 20th century than they do today.
Unauthorized works
After Burroughs' death a number of writers produced
new Tarzan stories without the permission of his estate.
In some instances, the estate managed to prevent publication
of such unauthorized pastiches. The most notable exception
in the United States was a series of five novels by
the pseudonymous "Barton Werper" that appeared
1964-65 by Gold Star Books. As a result of legal action
by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., they were taken off
the market and remaining copies destroyed. Similar
series appeared in other countries, notably Argentina,
Israel, and some Arab countries.
In Israel in the 1950s and early 1960s there was a
thriving industry of locally-produced Tarzan adventures
published weekly in 24-page brochures by several competing
publishing houses, none of which bothered to get any
authorization from the Burroughs estate. The stories
featured Tarzan in contemporary Africa, a popular
theme being his fighting against the Mau Mau in 1950s
Kenya and single-handedly crushing their revolt several
times over. He also fought a great variety of monsters,
vampires and invaders from outer space infesting the
African jungles, and discovered several more lost
cities and cultures in addition to the ones depicted
in the Burroughs canon. Some brochures had him meet
with Israelis and take Israel's side against her Arab
enemies, especially Nasser's Egypt.
None of the brochures ever bore a writer's name, and
the various publishers - "Elephant Publishing"
(Hebrew: ????? ?????), "Rhino Publishing"
(Hebrew: ????? ??????) and several similar names -
provided no more of an address than POB numbers in
Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. These Tarzan brochures were
extremely popular among Israeli youths of the time,
successfully competing with the numerous Hebrew translations
of the original Tarzan novels, and are recalled with
nostalgia by many Israelis now in their fifties. The
Tarzan brochures faded out by the middle 1960s, surviving
copies at present fetching high prices as collectors'
items in the Israeli used-book market. Researcher
Eli Eshed has spent considerable time and effort on
the Tarzan brochures and other Israeli pulp magazines
and paperbacks. (Hebrew website with cover of "Tarzan's
War Against the Germans").
The popularity of Tarzan in Israel had some effect
on the spoken Hebrew language. As it happens, "tarzan"
(Hebrew: ?????) is a long-established Hebrew word,
translatable as "dandy, fop, coxcomb" (according
to R. Alcalay's Complete Hebrew-English Dictionary
of 1990). However, a word could not survive with that
meaning while being identical with the name of a popular
fictional character usually depicted as wearing a
loincloth and jumping from tree to tree in the jungle.
Since the 1950s the word in its original meaning has
completely disappeared from the spoken language, and
is virtually unknown to Hebrew speakers at present
- though still duly appearing in dictionaries.
In the 1950s Syria and Lebanon also saw the flourishing
of unauthorized Tarzan stories. Tarzan in these versions
was a staunch supporter of the Arab cause and helped
his Arab friends foil various fiendish Israeli plots.
Tarzan in film and other non-print media
Tarzan
in film and other non-print media
Film
The Internet Movie Database lists 89 movies with Tarzan
in the title between 1918 and 2008. The first Tarzan
movies were silent pictures adapted from the original
Tarzan novels which appeared within a few years of
the character's creation. With the advent of talking
pictures, a popular Tarzan movie franchise was developed,
anchored at first by actor Johnny Weissmüller
in the title role, which lasted from the 1930s through
the 1960s.
Buster Crabbe's role in the 1933 Tarzan serial Tarzan
the Fearless (also issued as a full length movie)
launched a successful career in which he starred in
over one hundred movies. It would be the only movie
in which Crabbe starred as Tarzan. (The serial was
re-edited into a made-for-TV feature in 1964.)
Tarzan films from the 1930s on often featured Tarzan's
chimpanzee companion, Cheeta. Later Tarzan films have
been occasional and somewhat idiosyncratic. Disney’s
animated Tarzan (1999) marked a new beginning for
the ape man, taking its inspiration equally from Burroughs
and Greystoke.
Radio
Tarzan was the hero of two popular radio programs.
The first aired from 1932-1936 with James Pierce in
the role of Tarzan. The second ran from 1951-1953
with Lamont Johnson in the title role.
Television
Television later emerged as the primary vehicle bringing
the character to the public. In 1958, movie Tarzan
Gordon Scott filmed three episodes for a prospective
television series. The program did not sell, but a
different live action Tarzan series starring Ron Ely
ran on NBC from 1966 to 1968. An animated series from
Filmation, Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, aired from
1976 to 1977, followed by the anthology programs Batman/Tarzan
Adventure Hour (1977–1978), Tarzan and the Super
7 (1978–1980), The Tarzan/Lone Ranger Adventure
Hour (1980–1981), and The Tarzan/Lone Ranger/Zorro
Adventure Hour) (1981–1982). Joe Lara starred
in the title role in Tarzan in Manhattan (1989), an
offbeat TV movie, and later returned in a completely
different interpretation in Tarzan: The Epic Adventures
(1996), a new live-action series. In between the two
productions with Lara, Tarzán, a half-hour
syndicated series ran from 1991 through 1994. In this
version of the show, Tarzan was portrayed as a blond
environmentalist, with Jane turned into a French ecologist.
Disney’s animated series The Legend of Tarzan
(2001-2003) was a spin-off from its animated film.
The latest television series was the live-action Tarzan
(2003), which starred male model Travis Fimmel and
updated the setting to contemporary New York City,
with Jane as a police detective, played by Sarah Wayne
Callies. The series was cancelled after only eight
episodes. A 1981 television special, The Muppets Go
to the Movies, features a short sketch entitled "Tarzan
and Jane". Lily Tomlin plays Jane opposite The
Great Gonzo as Tarzan. In addition, the Muppets have
made reference to Tarzan on half a dozen occasions
since the 1960s. Saturday Night Live featured recurring
sketches with the speech-impaired trio of "Frankenstein,
Tonto, and Tarzan".
Stage
A 1921 Broadway production of Tarzan of The Apes starred
Ronald Adair as Tarzan and Ethel Dwyer as Jane Porter.
In 1976, Richard O'Brien wrote a musical entitled
T. Zee, loosely based on Tarzan but restyled in a
rock idiom. Tarzan, a musical stage adaptation of
the 1999 animated feature, opened at the Richard Rodgers
Theatre on Broadway on May 10, 2006. The show, a Disney
Theatrical production, was directed and designed by
Bob Crowley. The same version of Tarzan that was played
at the Richard Rodgers Theatre is being played throughout
Europe and has been a huge success in Holland. The
Broadway show closed on July 8, 2007. Tarzan also
appeared in the Tarzan Rocks! show at the Theatre
in the Wild at Walt Disney World Resort's Disney's
Animal Kingdom. The show closed in 2006.
Video and computer games
In the mid-1980s there was an arcade video game called
Jungle King that featured a Tarzan-like character
in a loin cloth. A game under the title Tarzan Goes
Ape was released in the 1980s for the Commodore 64.
A Tarzan computer game by Michael Archer was produced
by Martech. Disney's Tarzan had seen video games released
for the PlayStation, Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color.
Tarzan also appeared in the PS2 game Kingdom Hearts,
although this Tarzan was shown in the Disney context,
not the original conceptional idea of Tarzan by Bourroughs.
In the first Rayman, a Tarzan-like version of Rayman
named Tarayzan appears in the Dream Forest.
Ephemera
There have been several Tarzan View-Master reels and
packets, plus numerous Tarzan coloring books, children's
books, follow-the-dots, Airfix plastic figures and
activity books.
Tarzan in comics
Tarzan
(comics)
Tarzan of the Apes was adapted in newspaper strip
form, in early 1929, with illustrations by Hal Foster.
A full page Sunday strip began March 15, 1931 by Rex
Maxon. Over the years, many artists have drawn the
Tarzan comic strip, notably Burne Hogarth, Russ Manning,
and Mike Grell. The daily strip began to reprint old
dailies after the last Russ Manning daily (#10,308,
which ran on 29 July 1972). The Sunday strip also
turned to reprints circa 2000. Both strips continue
as reprints today in a few newspapers and in Comics
Revue magazine. NBM Publishing did a high quality
reprint series of the Foster and Hogarth work on Tarzan
in a series of hardback and paperback reprints in
the 1990s.
Tarzan has appeared in many comic books from numerous
publishers over the years. The character's earliest
comic book appearances were in comic strip reprints
published in several titles, such as Sparkler, Tip
Top Comics and Single Series. Western Publishing published
Tarzan in Dell Comics's Four Color Comics #134 &
161 in 1947, before giving him his own series, Tarzan,
published through Dell Comics and later Gold Key Comics
from Jan-Feb 1948 to February, 1972). DC took over
the series in 1972, publishing Tarzan #207-258 from
April 1972 to February 1977, including work by Joe
Kubert. In 1977 the series moved to Marvel Comics,
which restarted the numbering rather than assuming
that used by the previous publishers. Marvel issued
Tarzan #1-28 (as well as three Annuals), from June
1977 to October 1979, mainly by John Buscema. Following
the conclusion of the Marvel series the character
had no regular comic book publisher for a number of
years. During this period Blackthorne Comics published
Tarzan in 1986, and Malibu Comics published Tarzan
comics in 1992. Dark Horse Comics has published various
Tarzan series from 1996 to the present, including
reprints of works from previous publishers like Gold
Key and DC, and joint projects with other publishers
featuring crossovers with other characters.
There have also been a number of different comic book
projects from other publishers over the years, in
addition to various minor appearances of Tarzan in
other comic books. The Japanese manga series Jungle
no Ouja Ta-chan (King of the Jungle Ta-chan) by Tokuhiro
Masaya was based loosely on Tarzan. Also, manga "god"
Osamu Tezuka created a Tarzan manga in 1948 entitled
Tarzan no Himitsu Kichi (Tarzan's Secret Base).
In a one off mini series Tarzan teamed with Batman.
The art was supplied by Igor Kordey.
Works inspired by Tarzan
In
the 1940s, the Finnish writer Lahja Valakivi published
several adventure novels about Tarsa karhumies, i.e.,
Tarsa the Bear Man. The books were obviously inspired
by Tarzan, but they were adapted into a Finnish setting:
as there are no apes in Finland, the hero Tarsa was
raised by bears instead.
In Asia, Philippine Cinema's inclination in satirizing
western entertainment produced Starzan, a comedy film
loosely based on the original Tarzan franchise. It
stars Filipino comedic actor Joey De Leon as Starzan,
Rene Requiestas as "Chitae", and Zsa Zsa
Padilla as Jane.
Tarzan appears briefly as a character in the book
Lust, by Geoff Ryman.
Trivia
Tarzana,
California, where Burroughs made his home, was renamed
in honor of Tarzan in 1927.
Michael Heseltine, a former British MP and senior
government minister, is nicknamed Tarzan in honour
of his having once seized the ceremonial mace in the
House of Commons and swung it about his head in the
middle of a debate. This action, together with Heseltine's
flowing golden hair, was said to be distinctly in
the style of Tarzan.
The March 1959 issue of Man's Adventure published
a story titled “The Man Who Really Was…
Tarzan” by Thomas Llewellan Jones. This article
claims that Tarzan was based on William Charles Mildin,
14th Earl of Streatham, who supposedly lived among
the apes from 1868 (age 11) to 1883, before returning
to England. None of the news stories claimed in the
