The Bibliography

ERB Inc. publishes the “definitive bibliography” by Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner

Tarzana, California. Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. today announced the release of the long-awaited definitive bibliography of the Master of Adventure by longtime Burroughs scholar Dr. Robert B. Zeuschner. The illustrated hardbound volume ships today in two hardbound editions.

Edgar Rice Burroughs Bibliography 1

Edgar Rice Burroughs, well known for his tales of Tarzan and John Carter of Mars, has been rightfully dubbed The Master of Adventure, but few are aware of the full scope of Burroughs’ literary output in a writing career that spanned four decades. During his lifetime, Burroughs created worlds that ranged from the Earth’s core to the Farthest Star, inhabited by larger-than-life heroes and heroines, populated by unimaginable creatures and captivating landscapes.

“We are absolutely thrilled to publish this very special book, which has been almost twenty years in the making,” said Jim Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. “We opened our archives to Dr. Zeuschner and he has produced the definitive account of everything published by Edgar Rice Burroughs. This is a one-of-a-kind illustrated bibliography that should be a must for anyone interested in ERB, the history of pulp fiction and the works that inspired Star Wars, Avatar, Superman and every other pulp hero since.”

The Bibliography features over 2000 annotated, illustrated entries describing ERB publications from 1911 to the present and 500 color images including 1st & reprint edition books & dustjackets, paperbacks and the 97 ERB story-related pulp covers. Both editions are 7 by 10 inch hardcover books.

Tarzan on the Precipice
by Michael A Sanford

The second book in the series – The Wild Adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs® with cover and interior art drawn by the creative, multi-award winning artist Will Meugniot

THE MISSING LINK – At the conclusion of the classic TARZAN OF THE APES by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan is despondent but assured he did what was honorable by enabling Jane to leave with his cousin, William Clayton (who believes he is the rightful heir to the Greystoke estate and can appropriately provide for Jane when they marry). But what then? There has never been an explanation of Tarzan’s activities after his presence in Wisconsin and before he begins his voyage back to Africa—until now!

tarzan-on-the-precipice

This story is full of fantasy, imaginative fiction and adventure – It grabs your attention from the beginning and keeps it to the very end. As Tarzan travels north, you will have visions of Canada that will make you feel as if you are there, touching and feeling all that Tarzan does. Thinking time and again that Tarzan’s demise is imminent, he escapes only to encounter still more dangers, with each episode building more suspense and anticipation for the next. Tarzan’s discovery of a lost Viking civilization and the author’s description and explanation of it will bring you a clear picture of village life and the gruesome realities of their existence.

While you may think this is a novel of pure fiction, archaeologists are continuing to discover new Viking sites in North America. Just recently, satellite technology has revealed intriguing evidence of a second Norse settlement further south than ever before known. A new Canadian site was discovered after infrared images from 400 miles in space showed possible man-made impressions under layers of vegetation with telltale signs of iron working. And now you will have the opportunity, while joining Tarzan, to unearth and experience this new discovery.

Venus might have been habitable, according to NASA simulation

Posted on August 9, 2016

venus

From the Phys.org website:

A team of researchers with NASA, Uppsala University, Columbia University and the Planetary Science Institute has created several simulations of conditions on Venus billions of years ago using Earth climate models and has found some instances that suggest the planet may at one time have been capable of harboring life. In their paper uploaded to the preprint server arXiv, the team describes their simulations and the factors they used in creating them.

Margot Robbie Hawaii Our new Tarzan movie star!

Margot Robbie looked like she was enjoying the Hawaiian sun with boyfriend Tom Ackerley on Thursday. And in such a romantic destination, there was no shortage of PDA.

The Suicide Squad star and her beau of over a year were spotted swimming and kissing in the water together earlier this week. For her beach outing, Robbie, 26, chose a crochet-trimmed Kiini Luna bikini top and bottoms while Ackerley was dressed in navy and white patterned swim trunks.

RANKING THE LORD OF THE JUNGLE’S GREATEST FILMS by Comic Book Resources

Posted on July 11, 2016

tarzan movie Great piece about our most iconic character:

The familiar film Tarzan has often been a monosyllabic brute, a far cry from the erudite version Burroughs envisioned in his novels (which informs Skarsgard’s portrayal). Nearly 60 official Tarzan films have been produced, with more than 20 actors taking on the role. Not all the films have been great; some have been notable only for being terrible. And certainly the cinematic Tarzan has a less fantastical tone than many of the novels, which boasted hidden cities, lost Roman legions, and a trips to lands populated by dinosaurs. But in nearly a century of Tarzan films, there’s plenty of good stuff. Here’s my Top 10.

Ed Catto: A Guy and His Lion – Tarzan’s New Logo

Posted on June 28, 2016

Hollywood embraces certain heroic brands time and time again. I think Dumas’ Three Musketeers (spoiler alert: there’s really four of them!) holds the record for movies most frequently adapted from a story. But another property has been capturing fans’ imaginations for over 100 years, and he’ll be swinging into theatres again this summer.
The Legend of Tarzan debuts July 1st. This movie stars Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie and Alexander Skarsgard. Fans are hopeful. Of note, this movie opens with a “civilized” Tarzan in the city London. But the hardcore Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs fans know there’s always something rumbling in the jungle.

Thank’s Ed! Read the full article Right Here!

Tarzan on the Precipice

Of course, TARZAN ON THE PRECIPICE has a double meaning. He is indeed chained with his life hanging in the balance on the precipice of a volcanic crater, but he is also on the precipice of the rest of his life, not knowing his future, abandoning his right of birth as an English Lord and bereft of the thing in life he cherishes most, Jane. All that is left for him now is Africa, which is at least known to him. Enjoy this tale and join Tarzan on his Canadian adventure as he prepares to return to Africa and a future even he cannot predict.

Archaeologists in Cambodia find vast medieval cities under jungle

Posted on June 12, 2016

Angkor-Wat-008 Edgar Rice Burroughs (r) is once again proven to be prescient with his novel “Land of The Hidden Men” also known as “Jungle Girl”. He knew the cities were there. It took scientists another 100 years to confirm it.

Researchers have discovered a vast network of hidden cities laying deep under the lush Cambodian jungle near the medieval mega-city of Angkor Wat, in “groundbreaking discoveries that promise to upend key assumptions about south-east Asia’s history,” the Guardian reported in an exclusive on Friday.

Tarzan Mosaic unveiling
at the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center

Thomas Yeates’ well known image, TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION, has been created in mosaic form [5′ diameter] and installed in the plaza of the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center.

tarzan-mosaic-1

The artist, Thomas Yeates, is a long-time favorite of all TARZAN fans. TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION is a modern version of the logo done by Roy G. Krenkel from 1966 that was originally modeled after the P. J. Monahan oil painting used on the front cover of Argosy Weekly Magazine Dec. 9 1922.

The mosaic itself was done by Vita Nova Luxury Mosaics located in Pacoima, California – 818-897-2432. Gali Rotstein was the mosaic artist – her detail and vision is wonderful and a faithful rendering of the Yeates art. Heidi L. Huber really moved it along with her energy and enthusiasm for the project.
