Books Update: Re-Working our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Master of Adventure: Tarzan Part 3
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category for the fourth of several updates spotlighting the Master of Adventure, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs was very prolific, and wrote in several series, in addition to his most famous creation Tarzan of the Apes. His style and settings set the tone for a whole library full of imitators/homagists in jungle, interplanetary and exotic locales. We shall be covering our ERB stock in a number of updates over the coming weeks, continuing this week with the third and final tranche of our extensive Tarzan stock. Tarzan is one of the most iconic literary characters of the 20th Century, is a household name and has had wonderful success in multi-media adventures, stemming from these exciting books. Selections here from the later numbers of this 24 volume set. As well as 1964 UK Four Square editions with the atmospheric cover art of Edward Mortelmans, we also have some NEL/Four Square editions from 1967, where Tarzan on the cover resembled Ron Ely, who was playing him on our TVs at the time. Full details of all our stock in our catalogue.
