Look what I got in the mail today: a biography of Edgar Rice Burroughs, the man who created Tarzan. It’s a huge book (11.5 x 9 x 2 inches) with over 800 pages of text and illustrations. I’m excited to learn more about his life and writing process. I find biographies of authors inspiring and helpful for my own writing. Do you have a favorite author biography?

An iconic, daft, action packed, romantic romp which would be 5* if it wasn’t horribly marred with racist tropes and stereotypes.

So, here's the reveal of Ian Richardson's pencils for a First Men On Mars variant cover. I've already seen his finished inks and colour by Yel Zamor and it's looking gorgeous. Kickstarter coming in April.

Today’s charity shop find. Three 1920 editions from series for £2 each!

Not rare or valuable and I already have the free Gutenberg ebooks, but how amazing is it to sit and read and know that the actual pages you are turning were first turned a century ago by someone enjoying the same story

Holy cow... I remember playing this maybe once in my life, a few decades ago. What I would not give to find a fellow fan to play it with again...

Oh gosh, it seems Edgar Rice Burroughs was a eugenicist who thought humanity had reached its zenith in the British aristocracy!

I need to finish reading this but the reason for Tarzan's infant survival and mastery of the beasts was because he was a superior being! (Pause for laughter.)

So myths of white supremacy are created and perpetuated.

Latest read, Three Deaths (2012) by David Barr Kirtley, from Under the Moons of Mars: New Adventures on Barsoom. Ghar Han, a four-armed Thark, a Green Man of Mars, loses two of his arms in a terrible duel with John Carter. He then endures years of humiliation among the cruel, war-like Green Men. Until the day het meets another earthling.
Satisfying tale.

The Great Re-inventorying Initiative continues into the Js!

First title out of the box is . My grandfather instilled in me a voracious appetite for reading when I was a kid and started me on his old books he had. I then read literally every ERB title and the John Carter series is my favorite. Great example of pulpy books growing up.

Reading this series of took me back.

Latest read, The Film-Makers of Mars (2008) by Geoff Ryman, from ParadiseTales.
A scriptwriter and film buff attends a film preservation screening, a movie dating back to 1911, found in the vaults of Edgar Rice Burrough's estate--they show a version of his Mars stories, except the "special effects" are impossible for 1911.
The scriptwriter is convinced it must be fake, until...

Ryman is terrific.
