TARZAN THE LOST ADVENTURE. EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS
ILLUSTRATED BOOK

Includes the JOHN CARTER OF MARS comic strips from 1941, illustrated by John Coleman Burroughs, son of Edgar Rice Burroughs.

The Ape Man rampages through the African jungle once again in a brawny, brutal adventure that Burroughs (1875- 1950) left unfinished at his death. The story returns to the original pulp roots of Tarzan as a noble beast who drinks hot blood from his bare-handed kills and slays foes with abandon and near superhuman skill. This Tarzan is in the dark spirit of the Burroughs novels, and he's revived with pulpish glee by Lansdale, a smart choice whose own fiction (The Two-Bear Mambo, 1995) acknowledges the ferocity of life. Here, Tarzan, aided by Jad-bal-ja the lion and Nkima the chimp, defends a party of American archeologists in search of the Lost City of Ur. He combats brigands who would plunder the party and the jungle, the savage inhabitants of Ur and, finally, a mantis-like monster from the earth's core-a reminder that Burroughs's Tarzan novels were as much science fiction as jungle adventure. It's a fierce tale, told in rough prose, but readers who pant, for instance, at the sight of Tarzan slashing through a band of apes who have kidnapped a young blonde as their "slave" will thrill to this yarn.
Product Description

In 1995, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan: The Lost Adventure enjoyed its Dark Horse debut as a series of pulp-magazine format books. The tale -- completed by famed horror writer Joe R. Lansdale is illustrated throughout by such legends as Thomas Yeates, and featuring a cover by Arthur Suydam.

About the Author
Edgar Rice Burroughs is one of the world's most popular authors. With no previous experience as a writer, he wrote and sold his first novel--A Princess of Mars--in 1912. In the ensuing thirty-eight years, until his death in 1950, Burroughs produced ninety-one books and a host of short stories and articles. Although he is best known as the creator of the classic Tarzan of the Apes and John Carter of Mars, his restless imagination knew few bounds. Burroughs's prolific pen took readers from the American West to primitive Africa to romantic adventures on the moon, other planets, and beyond the farthest star. No one knows how many copies of Burroughs's books have been published throughout the world. It is conservative to say, however, that with translations into thirty-two known languages, including Braille, the number must run into the hundreds of millions. Considering the additional worldwide following of the Tarzan newspaper feature, radio programs, comic magazines, motion pictures, and television series, Burroughs and his works are certainly known and loved by a legion of fans.

Joe R. Lansdale is best known for his hard-hitting suspense novels such as Act of Love, Dead in the West, Savage Season, and Mucho Mojo. His short story collections include Writer of the Purple Rage and A Fistful of Stories.

BIRTH OF A LENSMAN

THIS VERSION IS LONG OUT OF PRINT.

This is the RARE original 1991 comic book, and was never sold in any mass market retail outlets. It was only available to purchase through comic book specialty shops.

Takes place thousands of years after the events of First Lensman. Lensman Kimball Kinnison travels to Arisia for advanced training in the use of the "Lens", a pseudo-life device which grants its user telepathic powers. Kimball uses this training with great success against the Boskonian pirates –only to find out that the pirates are a front for an enemy of far greater scope.

Situated out at the furthest reaches of the galactic rim is the lush, green planet called Mqueie—home to a retired space soldier and his son, Kim, who is now turned eighteen and is ready to leave for the stars. But on the eve of his departure, a war-battered starship appears out of warp space and threatens to crash down upon the peaceful planet. As the young are apt to do, Kim makes a bold and rash plan—to take his small flyer and attempt entry to gain control of the falling ship, thus averting catastrophe. Making it on board, Kim discovers an injured Lensman at the helm.

Just what is the mysterious Lens that grants awesome powers to a select few? Kim’s incredible odyssey is about to begin…

"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? Times Square, Easter Sunday, April 1941. Amid the bustle of the holiday crowd, a young woman runs for her life. It is a race that will lead from the heart of Manhattan, pulsing with vibrant life, through Hell's Kitchen to Lisbon -- final destination: Berlin, Nazi stronghold and center of dark intrigue. As hot gunfire from an alley behind a burly-"Q", a cab screeches toward a date with death. Auto chases, motorcycle escapes, and a fantastic battle between U-boat and autogiro over Coney Island! Heroes and villains dance like puppets on invisible strings, never knowing for certain if they be players... or pawns. Behind the action looms the spectral figure of the Shadow, master of men. What webs and toils unfurl from these mysterious gloved hands -- what lives hang balanced between the cold hollow laughter and the blazing .45s? Who is safe, who doomed? Only the Shadow knows."
