Also...
"The Resurrection of Jimber-Jaw" by Edgar Rice Burroughs (published separately, but most certainly not "a book" at a mere 30 pages) It was first printed in Argosy Weekly February 20, 1937 (Vol 271 #1). Its only book appearance was in Tales of Three Planets (1964, 1974), though the original, pre-editorial intrusion version ("Elmer") appeared in Forgotten Tales of Love and Murder.
Master of Adventure: The Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs by Richard A. Lupoff
Tarzan Forever by John Taliaferro Lots of information reference unpublished works...and published works which were never collected into book form.
Famous Authors: Edgar Rice Burroughs by KULTUR VIDEO, Directed by Malcolm Hossick 40 minute biography. Poorly done--starts, goes chronologically, then goes back and starts again. Also, the same pictures were shown two or more times. If they didn't have enough pictures to go around, surely they could have put in some video clips (of which there were almost none) of people talking about ERB or Tarzan or something. One interesting thing, though: there were quite a few pictures of drawings by ERB. If I have the patience to do it, I'd like to go back and screenshot each one of these. Can't share, of course, but I'd still like to have it for my own amusement / edification. Maybe show them to a friend or two if anybody's interested. But all in all--information poor, bad presentation, glad I was able to use my points to get it for free.
Edgar Rice Burroughs: The Man Who Created Tarzan Volumes I & II by Irwin Porges
A most excellent biography...far better than the Lupoff and Taliaferro books. Made me feel for ERB, who was pretty much trapped by his success (in that publishers were unwilling to let him write anything outside of what they considered to be his wheelhouse...which is why he wrote so many Tarzan books). Also made me long to read the uncollected and unpublished Burroughs works...of which there are one hell of a lot. Maybe someday? Probably not. But I can dream.
Brother Men: The Correspondence of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Herbert T. Weston, edited by Matt Cohen
Sometimes interesting collection of letters, but (1) an unbearable editor who (2) mistimes just about every one of his footnotes...some of which are extremely un-useful, and (3) a whole lot of tedious stuff in-between the interesting stuff. (I thought an editor did more than put things in order and write stupid footnotes, but I guess I was mistaken.)
Carson of Venus: The Edge of All Worlds by Matt Betts
I have to admit that I was pretty jazzed when I saw a promo for this book...even though I'm not a big fan of "Fan Fiction," even if it is Professional Fan Fiction. But you know what...I tore through this book, really enjoyed it, and am ready, willing, and able to read more. This volume also included a related short story, "Pellucidar: Dark of the Sun" by Christopher Paul Carey which was okay-ish. Anyway, the experience of reading it was good enough that I decided to have a go at The Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series. Going to start with the second book, though, since the first one isn't available on kindleunlimited, and I have a free trial for that which will get me through seven of the nine books in the series.
Tarzan on the Precipice by Michael A. Sanford
This was the second book in The Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs series. (Free via a free trial of kindle unlimited, whereas the first book you had to buy, hence....) I would recommend that you skip this book, though. Some of ERB's later Tarzan novels were not good, but they are masterpieces compared to this novel. It's really just a light re-working of the same things you find in pretty much every Tarzan novel: a lost civilization, women who need rescuing, a group of apes who are friendly, then not, then there's a fight and Tarzan becomes their leader. It was nauseating. I am still going to try to read some more of the books in the series, but since the next two are also Tarzan books, I think I'm going to skip over to number 4. One thing keeps popping up in my brain: why on earth did the ERB people allow this awful book to be published? (It had their blessing.) I don't understand it.
Comic Books:
Pellucidar At The Earth's Core #1 (American Mythology)
Fear on Four Worlds #1: Carson of Venus (American Mythology)
Fear on Four Worlds #2: Moon Maid (American Mythology)
Fear on Four Worlds #3: Pellucidar (American Mythology)
Carson of Venus: The Flames Beyond #1 (American Mythology)
Sorry to say, but even though American Mythology continues to produce comic books
based on ERB stories, I had to give up on them. The combination of terrible, amateurish
art coupled with silly or even downright stupid stories was too much for me.
