Sword and Plant + Robert Silverberg ?

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 15:22:03 -0600

I am so there ! Okay it doesn’t come out until January 2011, but with the John Carter movie being 2012 that doesn’t seem so far away. This delectable item is from Paizo’s Planet Stories line. I own a few of them and they’re well done, nicely packaged reprints of pulp goodies.

Can I say Sword and Planet is coming back now ? Please ? - Jeff

Weird Worlds returns

Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:18:28 -0600

I loved this comic. It was a short of run ( 10 issues ) Burroughs and similar material in the 70’s.

DC has announced it’s return which raises irrational hopes in me of the overall return of Sword and Planet fiction to the mainstream.

The article is HERE, and ERBzine was a nice retrospective of the series with covers HERE. - Jeff

Books you need.

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 08:57:28 -0600

I need this, I’m sure you do too. It’s a production of the National Pathans, an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan group that I wish I could hang out with but they’re way far away from me. The contributors are almost all people I know or have heard rumors of at least. It’s available at Amazon to fulfill your ERB needs. ( I don’t get any kick back from this )

Will I’m at it, here’s a look at some other books that make Jeff happy. You probably need these too. - Jeff
