VEVE REVEALS FIRST ‘TARZAN’ NFT COLLECTIBLE THROUGH PARTNERSHIP WITH EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS, INC. 

Posted on June 2, 2022

Fans of the Lord of the Jungle Can Collect Iconic Comic Book in Time for 50th Anniversary

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, June 1, 2022VeVe, the largest mobile-first digital collectibles platform, has announced a new partnership with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., the company that manages the worldwide rights to the iconic character Tarzan®, to bring the legendary Tarzan of the Apes™ comic books to the platform.

Tarzan is one of the most recognizable characters in popular culture and a worldwide phenomenon since his creation by Edgar Rice Burroughs, one of the best-selling authors of the twentieth century. Comic books starring the heroic Lord of the Jungle® have been consistently in print for nearly a century, written and illustrated by some of the most renowned and beloved creators past and present. In the initial drop, collectors can purchase one of the most celebrated Tarzan comic books exclusively through the VeVe app (available to download on the App Store and Google Play) on Friday, June 3 at 8 AM PST.

This initial drop of Tarzan collectibles commemorates the classic issue #207 of the long-running Tarzan of the Apes comic book series featuring the story “Origin of the Ape-Man,” written and illustrated by comics legend Joe Kubert. First published 50 years ago, issue #207 was the first time Kubert brought his creative talents to the Lord of the Jungle, depicting him as no one ever had before in his raw, gritty, and action-packed style, defining a new look for the ape-man for an entire generation of fans that still resonates in our imaginations today. In 1976, Joe Kubert founded The Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art. The school taught students the craft of sequential comic book art and still thrives today as The Kubert School. This historical release includes a main cover highlighting one of Kubert’s best-known illustrations of all time plus four additional covers: Variant Cover Design, Black and White, Gold, and Platinum.

“Tarzan has proven to be a timeless character, maintaining his perennial qualities of strength, courage, protector of wildlife and the environment, and defender of those in need, even as he adapts to the changing world,”  said Jim Sullos, President of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. “Every generation has its Tarzan, and its own way of experiencing the ape-man’s adventures, and this generation is no different. We are extremely proud and excited to partner with Veve to bring Tarzan into the new frontier of digital collectibles, where we are certain the Lord of the Jungle will once again triumph.”

“Tarzan is one of pop culture’s most enduring characters and we’re thrilled to bring him and this iconic comic series into the digital world,” said David Yu, Co-Founder of VeVe. “We believe Veve is a wonderful way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this comic as well as Tarzan’s and Joe Kubert’s ongoing legacy for fans to cherish forever.”

Through the VeVe platform, fans can showcase their digital collections in the app’s virtual showrooms as epic 3D dioramas, as well as virtually visit, comment on and like showrooms from other collectors. VeVe also offers an augmented reality (AR) photo mode that allows  collectors to interact with every digital collectible in 3D, as well as share their collectibles through VeVe’s in-app social feed or on external social platforms.

I AM A BARBARIAN™ Deluxe Graphic Novel—Now Available from Cedar Run Publications

Posted on May 17, 2022

I AM A BARBARIAN™, the first print graphic novel collecting one of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.’s extensive number of online comic strips, is now in stock and available at cedarrunpublications.com. Housed in a custom gold-foil-imprinted, matte-gray-board slipcase, this stunningly beautiful edition contains 236 pages of action-packed comic strips with a glossy interior cover. Only 600 copies were printed; thus the book will quickly become a sought-after collectible. Order now to secure your copy!

This deluxe slipcased graphic novel is available with a special laid-in bookplate limited to 250 copies and signed by the book’s creative team (Thomas Simmons, Michael Dubisch, L. Jamal Walton) for $89.95 or without a bookplate for $69.95. Note: Orders for the I Am a Barbarian graphic novel with laid-in signed bookplate will be shipped the week of June 15th, 2022. For any questions about the book, please contact Cedar Run Publications.

Advance reviews of the I Am a Barbarian deluxe graphic novel have been glowing. Look for upcoming write-ups and reviews in The Burroughs Bulletin, The Gridley Wave, The Panthans Journal, and The Anotar as well as webcasts and podcasts with writer/adapter Thomas Simmons and artist Mike Dubisch.

I Am A Barbarian, a historical novel set in ancient Rome, was written by “Master of Adventure” Edgar Rice Burroughs in 1941. It tells the story of a young man’s courage in the face of cruel adversity, and of his tragic love for a beautiful Belgian slave girl.  

Britannicus, the defiant son of an arrogant chief in far-off Britain, was just another barbarian to the haughty Romans who captured and enslaved him. Britannicus’ mother and father were also captured by the Romans, and he was never able to speak to them again. Britannicus becomes the personal slave of Emperor Caligula amid the decadence of Imperial Rome; he faces death time and again, in the gladiatorial arena, in chariot races, in the twisted hearts of palaces, always at the hands of his insane master: Caligula, the most bloodthirsty Roman of them all.

Britannicus watches as Caligula sinks into depravity, forces rivals to commit suicide, falsely accuses and kills individuals in order to seize their estates during a financial crisis caused by his own profligate gambling and wasteful spending, and orders his guards to throw scores of people into the arena to be eaten by wild animals. Only the imagination of Edgar Rice Burroughs could have reincarnated the chariot races, the intrigues, and the sights and sounds of long-dead Imperial Rome—and now, the able team of writer Tom Simmons, artist Mike Dubisch, and letterer Jamal Walton brings this extraordinary tale, with its vivid story, art, and period authenticity, to life again in a newly printed graphic novel based on their online comic strip.

WRITER/ADAPTER: Thomas Simmons

“In mid-1941, with mounting personal and health issues and the world once again at war, Edgar Rice Burroughs penned I Am a Barbarian, his second and final historical novel. The story is dark and in a number of ways decidedly unlike his prior work, which made adapting it into an action/adventure strip and subsequent printed graphic novel a challenge I was happy to undertake,” says screenwriter and graphic novelist Tom Simmons.

In addition to adapting the I Am a Barbarian and The Outlaw of Torn™ online strips, Simmons has several screenplays and graphic novels to his credit. “It was a pleasure to have collaborated with Lovecraft Award–winning artist Mike Dubisch on this effort, as well as with the talented Jamal Walton. The satisfying culmination to our five-year commitment with the online strip is this excellent graphic novel,” states the writer.

ARTIST/COLORIST: Mike Dubisch

Internationally known fantasy illustrator and graphic novelist Mike Dubisch has his roots in golden age horror comics and pulp science fiction. His art has been used in toy design and illustration for Star Wars, The Wheel of Time, and Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying games, covers for Aliens vs. Predator, and graphic adaptations of The Boxcar Children and other children’s literature. His work has appeared in Science Fiction Age, Realms of Fantasy, Weird Tales, and H. P. Lovecraft’s Magazine of Horror.

“I was huge reader of Burroughs at a young age, drawn to Tarzan’s jungle adventures amongst the apes, a counterpoint to my obsession with King Kong and giant monsters. Later, John Carter’s fantastic adventures enthralled me at the same time as I discovered the great illustrators and comic artists who ended up shaping my artistic vision,” the artist says.

Dubisch is an instructor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. He also creates fine art, prints, and experimental films exploring H. P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu Mythos.

Remembering Willie Jones

Posted on May 11, 2022

We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of former longtime ERB, Inc., employee Willie Jones on April 27, 2022. Willie was hired as a secretary under Marion Burroughs in 1977. She went on to become an integral part of the ERB, Inc., team, being promoted to Assistant Secretary and working closely with the executive staff on matters related to the company’s intellectual property, until she retired in 2019. She is survived by her son, Robert Jones.

Willie loved dogs and country music. She was known to fans from her attendance at some of the Burroughs Bibliophiles Dum-Dum conventions over the years, and even traveled to New York City to see Disney’s Tarzan on Broadway theatrical premiere.

Willie’s hard work was invaluable in protecting the legacy of Edgar Rice Burroughs for more than four decades. We will all miss her deeply.

Donations may be made in memory of Willie Jones to Parkinson’s Resource Organization, one of her favorite causes.

Shipping Update: Tarzan Books #13–16

Posted on March 18, 2022

We have received the print proofs for Tarzan volumes #13–16 in the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library (they look awesome!) and ordered the final books from the printer, and now we are just waiting for them to arrive in our warehouse. As we had indicated when the set went up for preorder, we had hoped for the books to ship to customers before the end of Q1 2022 (i.e., March 31), but now the printer estimates that the books will arrive in our warehouse sometime in April.

The good news is we have significantly expanded the length of the afterwords and archival sections for this set of books, so you will have more to enjoy when you do get them in your hands! To give you some idea of what we mean, in Tarzan #13–16, the afterwords (detailing the behind-the scenes history for each novel) range from 30–47 pages and the “From the Archives of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc.” sections (featuring rare and never-before-published materials from our archives) range from 56 pages to a whopping 78 pages! Among the archival treasures in Tarzan books #13–16, you will find:

  • A previously unpublished film treatment written by Edgar Rice Burroughs for Tarzan and the City of Gold that was submitted to MGM circa 1938
  • The never-before-in-print four-page manuscript of ERB’s “Pronunciation of Coined Words Used in the Tarzan Novels” (ever wonder how to pronounce “Nemone”?)
  • Previously unpublished illustrations by ERB, including maps; prehistoric creatures and beasts from Pellucidar; characters from the novels; and the O-220 dirigible that carried Tarzan, Jason Gridley, and crew to the Earth’s core!
  • Tons of never-before-seen correspondence, and much, much more!

Here’s a peek at the proofs to tide you over until the books hit your mailbox:

Posted on November 23, 2021

The ERB Authorized Library’s NEWEST SET OF FOUR VOLUMES (Tarzan #13–16)—Tarzan at the Earth’s Core, Tarzan the Invincible, Tarzan Triumphant, and Tarzan and the City of Gold—is now available for preorder, at the special SALE PRICE of FOUR BOOKS FOR THE PRICE OF THREE!

Lansdale, Tarzan film actor Casper Van Dien, Tarzan Revisited director Robert de Young, and ERB biobibliographer Demos Sachlas; afterwords by noted ERB scholar Henry G. Franke III; and a bounty of rare and previously unpublished archival materials, including a previously unpublished film treatment for Tarzan and the City of Gold written by Edgar Rice Burroughs!

Tarzan volumes #13–16 are expected to ship to customers during the first quarter of 2022, but due to the current uncertainties surrounding the global supply chain, we cannot guarantee this projected shipping date. Please make sure you are signed up for our email newsletter to receive updates on shipping date estimates.

Due to popular demand, we have decided to extend the “Buy 4 Books for the Price of 3” sale for Tarzan books #1–4 indefinitely. However, our sale will be ending on December 31, 2021 for Tarzan sets #5–8 and #9–12, so get them at the “4 Books for the Price of 3” sale price while you still can! The “4 for 3” sale price will remain in effect on Tarzan #13–16 until the next set of Tarzan volumes will be released next year.

The Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library presents the first ever complete literary works of the Master of Adventure in uniform hardcover editions. Published by the company founded by Mr. Burroughs in 1923, each volume of the Authorized Library is packed with extras and rarities not to be found in any other edition. From cover art and frontispieces by legendary artist Joe Jusko to forewords and afterwords by today’s authorities and luminaries to a treasure trove of bonus materials mined from the company’s extensive archives in Tarzana, California, the Edgar Rice Burroughs Authorized Library will take you on a journey of wonder and imagination you will never forget.
