Yes, they are definitely two different books,  I have both of them in front of
me now from my home library.  "A Feast Unknown" is the book about Tarzan and
Doc Savage.  "Image of the Beast" is a totally different book which contains
two stories:  "Image of the Beast" and "Blown".  Both are published by Playboy
Press in pocket book format.  AFU is 0-872-16586-8 225 and IOTB is
0-872-16557-4 225.  From these ISBN numbers any bookstore should be able to
order them for you.  However, I do believe that Playboy Press has either been
sold or changed names or something?  The new company may no longer be
publishing these books.
