John Carter, Tarzan, and Friends: A Reader's Checklist

by Rosemary Jones

In 1912, Edgar Rice Burroughs created two memorable charaters, John Carter of Mars and Tarzan of the Apes. But he also wrote adventures set in medieval England, sent explorers far below the earth's crust, and wrecked U-boats in a land that time forgot. Here's a complete reader's checklist of all of Burroughs' fantastic adventures along with notes on cross-overs between series, early publishers, and how to identify true first editions. Rosemary Jones, a member of Science Fiction Writers of America, shares her love of all things ERB in this compact volume, perfect to take with you into the used bookstore or on a treasure hunt.

50 pages, Kindle Edition

About the author

Plunged into the Roaring Twenties for the Arkham Horror titles Mask of Silver and its sequels The Deadly Grimoire and The Bootlegger's Dance. A new sequence begins with The Nightmare Quest of April May and The Arcane Gamble of Harvey Waltersin 2025. I've written novels set in the Forgotten Realms, City of the Dead and Crypt of the Moaning Diamond, as well as several short stories and novella Cold Steel and Secrets set in this Dungeons & Dragons world. When not battling cosmic horrors, animated skeletons, and other supernatural foes, I'm authoring tales of Cobalt City, a place of superheroes, super villains, and regular joes just trying to get by. A new expanded edition of Wrecker of Engines and related short stories was issued in 2024.

My other science fiction and fantasy short stories appear in various anthologies. The complete list on my website at rosemaryjones.com.

As the co-author of the Encyclopedia of Collectible Childrens Books, I spent many years collecting and often dip back into these treasures for my own pleasure and entertainment. I currently share my home with 2,000+ volumes, not all cataloged here.
