Me Tarzan, You Vogue: The family of Edgar Rice Burroughs has sued Vogue magazine for monkeying around with the late author’s Tarzan and Jane characters in a “sexually suggestive” photographic essay in its April issue. The suit, filed in Manhattan federal court, accuses the magazine and its parent, Conde Nast Publications, of infringing on trademarks held by Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. The family is seeking an unspecific amount of damages and an accounting of all profits the magazine made from the use of the trademarks.
