ADVENTURES IN THE STRAND: ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE
& THE STRAND MAGAZINE -
Now available!
by Mike Ashley
Conan Doyle’s name is synonymous with The Strand magazine,
chiefly because of the Sherlock Holmes stories but also due to many
of his other contributions, such as the Professor Challenger stories,
his articles on spiritualism and fairies, and his coverage of the major
battles of World War I. From 1891 until his death in 1930, almost 300
contributions by Doyle were published in The Strand, including 120
stories, 9 serialized novels, and dozens of other items including poetry
and interviews. It is impossible fully to appreciate Conan Doyle’s artistic
development without considering the context of The Strand, as it published
almost all of his most memorable and important stories, but it also published
essays, commentary and other works that have become unjustly forgotten.
Doyle’s contributions highlight, for example, his abilities as a sportsman,
an interest which frequently found its way into his fiction. This study
charts his outlook and views, examines his shifting reputation during
his lifetime, and assesses how Doyle’s contributions to The Strand fit
into his overall output as a writer. Ashley uncovers hidden aspects of Doyle’s
writings that reveal him to be a more broadly talented writer than he is
often given credit for.

The Jailbird Flight
By Donald E. Keyhoe
Below the Rio Grande he had once been
known as “The Killer.” Now Captain Bruce Kirby flew
through hell skies, leader of the strangest
squadron that ever dared face death from flaming
Spandaus. Outcasts—all of them—branded with
the convict’s arrow! No cowards came to the
Jailbird drome—only those dishonored war eagles
who chose a chance to die in action rather than rot
behind prison bars. Hot tempers, liquor, and
the madness of war had brought them low—but beneath
it all they still were men! A former U.S. Marine
pilot, author Donald E. Keyhoe was a prolific contributor
to the pulp magazines, but he is perhaps best
remembered for his UFO research in the Fifties
and Sixties. In August of 1931, Keyhoe started
three long-lived series in three different aviation
magazines: Captain Philip Strange in Flying
Aces; The Devil Dog Squadron in Sky Birds; and The
Jailbird Flight in Battle Aces. This volume features
the first seven Jailbird adventures published by
Popular Publications in 1931 and ‘32: The Jailbird Flight,
The Drome of Vanishing Men, The Masked Skull
Squadron, The Jailbird Ace, Dead Man’s Drome, Claws of
the Jailbird, and The Skeleton Ace.

America’s enemies have assembled squadrons
of flying furies, exploding skeletons, and invisible
airplanes to turn the tide of
the First World War. But when things get
weird, we get Strange. Captain Philip Strange,
that is—ace pilot and so-called “Brain-Devil” of
G-2 Intelligence. His assignment? Journey from
the back-alleys of Paris to the skies over Germany,
taking down flying fortresses, cursed aerodromes,
strafing skulls, and other wild weapons
of mass destruction! This fourth volume of
Philip Strange missions includes seven thrilling
tales: Satan's Staffel, The Vanishing Staffel,
Hoodoo Drome, The Skull Staffel, The Skeleton
Barrage, Staffel of the Starved, and The Staffel
Invisible.

Les Posthumes (1802)
Introduction, Afterword and Notes by Brian Stableford.
Restif gave free rein to his imagination in Posthumous Correspondence
(first written in 1787-89; augmented in 1796, and finally published
in 1802), presented as a sequence of letters between Monsieur de Fontlhète
and his beloved wife Hortense.
In this first volume, Fontlhète makes contact with Yfflasie
and Clarendon, two discorporated souls and learns of their adventures
in the afterlife; later, he acquires artificial wings, uses his new-found
power to oppose evil and fight crime, taking on tyrants and warmongers,
then gains the ability of exchanging identities by taking over other
people's bodies with his own soul.
In the second volume, we meet Duke Multipliandre, whose adventures
include not only the acquisition of several superpowers, but a
vast series of erotic exploits, some involving the ability of exchanging
identities by taking over other people's bodies. After visiting many
exotic lands, Multipliandre boldly crosses the boundaries of the known
world, in order to explore the hypothetical world of Restif's cosmogonic
and evolutionary theories traveling to the Moon and Mars.
In the third and final volume, Duke Multipliandre visits the other
known planets of the solar system and numerous other worlds then
unknown to science, including trans-Uranian planets, a comet and
three planets within the orbit of Mercury, and interacts with their
peculiar inhabitants. After that, he sets off to visit several other
solar systems, including those of Sirius and Vega, and several nebulae,
before concluding his journey in the "astral center," into which
the entire universe will one day be dissolved, before being regenerated
as an entirely new universe. Multipliandre then returns to Earth, where,
immortal by virtue of his super-powers, he settles down to witness the
entire future of the Earth, initially coping with a new form of life
born from a close encounter between the planet and a comet, which produces,
among other plant and animal species, a race of winged humans, whom Multipliandre
calls "angels."
Posthumous Correspondence was intended to be the most ambitious,
fantastic and all-encompassing of all the exotic literary endeavors
that Restif had originally planned to write, the ultimate version
of his speculative cosmogony.

THE BRONZE GAZETTE
Subscriptions for 2016 are now available!
Issue 76 of
the Bronze Gazette is going to press!
This week is your last chance to subscribe and reserve copies
of issue 76 & 77.
It's just $20 (USA), $30 (Canada) and $35 (International)
to get a two-issue subscription.
Earlier this summer,
Howard Wright announced that issue
75 would be the final number of his Doc Savage-oriented
fanzine, The Bronze Gazette.
Howard began the zine in 1990 as The Doc Savage
Gazette. (The name was quickly changed
after four issues because of trademark
problems.)
It’s clearly been a labor of love for Howard,
who has regularly put out three issues
a year for 25 years now.
But Howard decided it was time to move on.
However, The Bronze Gazette will continue!
PULPlications — run by Terry Allen of Fantom
Press and Keith Wilson of Doc Savage
Fantasy Covers — will be the publisher, while
Chuck Welch of Flearun will be the editor.
The Bronze Gazette’s 76th issue will debut
in Spring 2016.
Terry says the zine will keep its digest
size, and will run about 48 pages.
There will be a slate of regular contributors,
but article submissions will be welcomed.
Subscriptions
(via Paypal) are now available for No. 76, Spring
2016, and No. 77, Fall 2016.
$20.00 U.S.A

MASTERS OF SCIENCE FICTION: FRITZ LEIBER
Now available!
Poet, actor, playwright, chess expert, master of
fantastic fiction. Fritz Leiber was a true Renaissance Man.
His writing crossed all boundaries, from horror to sword
and sorcery. This book goes deep into Leiber’s underrated
science fiction oeuvre. It’s a comprehensive, page-turning
cache that captures Leiber’s thoroughly original style — altogether
mystical, beautiful, and sometimes disturbing.
“The Foxholes of Mars” is a literary assault: a frightening,
nitro-fueled tale of war on Mars, with one soldier questioning
the futility and purpose of the battle against bug-eyed
aliens — a distant mirror-image of our own times. “Space-Time
for Springers” is told through the glaring eyes of Gummitch,
a cat who happens to possess a genius IQ and a voracious
appetite for scientific knowledge. “Night Passage” takes us on
a dark journey into a Las Vegas where Earthlings and extra-terrestrials
mingle and gamble — and where one man takes a moonlit ride with
a mystery woman from Mercury, tailed by some very scary pursuers.
“The Mutant’s Brother” is a malevolent mix of horror and SF, a tale
of identical twins who each carry a frightful chromosome. One of
them is also a monstrous serial killer. The literally chilling “A
Pail of Air” takes place in an underground nest, where a family
fights to survive in a sunless, moonless, post-apocalyptic world where
even helium and carbon dioxide become crawling, shapeless threats.
Fritz Leiber was a storyteller and prophet for the ages.
His work will never be dated or irrelevant. Treat this
book like a crystal ball. These pages chronicle the world
to come. You’ve been warned.
Over 700 pages of Fritz Leiber’s best science fiction.
Afterword by John Pelan.
Limited to 500 signed and numbered copies.
Signed by John Pelan and cover artists Jim & Ruth Keegan.
Fully cloth bound, gorgeous dustjacket, ribbon marker, head
and tail bands.

The Collected Fantasies of Clark Ashton Smith
Volume 3: A Vintage from Atlantis - Now
available!
Clark Ashton Smith, considered one of the greatest contributors
to seminal pulp magazines such as Weird Tales, helped define and
shape “weird fiction” in the early twentieth century, alongside
contemporaries H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, drawing upon his
background in poetry to convey an unparalleled richness of imagination
and expression in his stories of the bizarre and fantastical.
The Collected Fantasies series presents all of Smith’s fiction chronologically.
Authorized by the author’s estate and endorsed by Arkham House,
the stories in this series are accompanied by detailed background
notes from editors Scott Connors and Ron Hilger, who in preparation
for this collection meticulously compared original manuscripts, various
typescripts, published editions, and Smith’s own notes and letters.
Their efforts have resulted in the most definitive and complete collection
of the author’s work to date.
A Vintage from Atlantis is the third of five volumes collecting all
of Clark Ashton Smith’s tales of fantasy, horror, and science fiction.
It includes all of his stories from “The Holiness of Azédarac”
(1931) to “The God of the Asteroid” (1932), as well as an introduction
by Michael Dirda.

Edgar Rice Burroughs
Tarzan Mosaic unveiling at the Tarzana Community & Cultural Center
Thomas Yeates’ well known image,
TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION, has been created in mosaic form [5′
diameter]
and installed in the plaza of the Tarzana Community & Cultural
Center.
The artist, Thomas
Yeates, is a long-time favorite of all TARZAN fans.
TARZAN AND THE GOLDEN LION is a modern version
of the logo done by Roy G. Krenkel from 1966
that was originally modeled after the P. J. Monahan oil painting used
on the front cover of Argosy Weekly Magazine Dec. 9 1922.
The mosaic itself was done by Vita Nova
Luxury Mosaics located in Pacoima, California – 818-897-2432.
Gali Rotstein was the mosaic artist – her
detail and vision is wonderful and a faithful rendering of the
Yeates art.
Heidi L. Huber really moved it along with
her energy and enthusiasm for the project.

TARZAN
MYTH & MYSTERY AT BRAZOS VALLEY MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
JUNE 16 - OCTOBER 29, 2016
The Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History proudly announces
the premiere of its upcoming exhibition, TARZAN: Myth & Mystery,on
display from June 16-Oct 29, 2016. This exhibition will open on Thursday,
June 16th, at 6 pm, with a free public lecture by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Bibliophile Jim Goodwin, followed by a wine & hors d’oeuvres reception
& gallery viewing.
A reader and collector of Edgar Rice Burroughs for over 55 years,
Goodwin will discuss the story behind Burroughs’ Tarzan tales, interesting
Burroughs background and Tarzan trivia, and other fascinating anecdotes
about Burroughs’ writing. A native Texan and a graduate of Stephen
F. Austin University, Goodwin worked in the communications industry
for 37 years. He is the co-founder of the Texas chapter of the Burroughs
Bibliophiles, the “Hell’s Benders.” The name “Hell’s Benders” originated
from Burroughs’ Western fiction novel, The Bandit of Hell’s Bend,
featuring a character named Tex. Mr. Goodwin currently resides in
Iowa Park, Texas with his wife, Rita, of 43 years and is blessed with
two daughters and 4 grandchildren.
Jim Goodwin
This exclusive exhibit showcases items from an extensive collection
of Tarzan and Edgar Rice Burroughs memorabilia. Early publications,
beautiful original artwork, rare books, and rarely seen film posters
will be shown alongside stunning taxidermy animals from central Africa.
Through this colorful and exciting exhibit, visitors can explore the
natural settings of the Tarzan books, the life of author Edgar Rice
Burroughs, the bold world of pulp art, Tarzan’s international appeal,
and other related topics.
The Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History is committed to promoting
science, and cultural and natural history with the integration
of art in exhibits and educational programs. This exhibit was made
possible in part through Hotel Tax Revenue funded from the City of
College Station through the Arts Council of Brazos Valley. The Museum
partnered with Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., private collectors, Cushing
Memorial Library and Archives, and the Anthropology Department at Texas
A&M University to produce this outstanding display.

New on Famous (and forgotten)
Fiction!
May 2016
We have revamped Valentine Follows a Curious Trail (The Blue Cross) by G.
K. Chesterton and fixed some errors from our previous reprinting and
cleaned up the illustrations by George Gibbs.
This story now serves as the beginning of our reprinting of the
original Father Brown stories as they appeared in the Post, complete
with the original illustrations.
Introductions to all are by Dan Neyer. Best place to start
is on our introductory page, The Innocence of Father Brown.
April 2016
A dictator meets his comeuppance in Kirby Draycott's The Clock Face of Schaumburg which,
as explained in in the introduction, bears some resemblance to a story
by a certain Mr. Poe. All the original illustrations are included,
just as they appeared in the November, 1898 issue
of The Royal Magazine. Introduction is by Bob Gay.
March 2016
A tale of romance and espionage by Baroness
Orczy, Number 187, as it appeared in the January, 1899 issue
of Pearson's Magazine, including the illustrations by Ernest
Prater. Introduction by Dan Neyer.
February 2016
All is revealed to the members of The Grill
Club in the third (and final) part of
In the Fog by Richard Harding Davis, The Solicitor's
Story, just as it appeared in the May, 1902 issue
of The Windsor Magazine, including the illustrations
by Maurice Greiffenhagen.
January 2016
The second part of "In The Fog" by Richard Harding Davis:
"The Story of the Queen’s Messenger," just as it
appeared in the April, 1902 issue of The
Windsor Magazine, including the illustrations by Maurice
Greiffenhagen.
Famous (and forgotten) Fiction is a
new site featuring familiar and obscure fiction along
with articles, pictures and essays. In the Writings
section, we have fiction by H. C. Bailey (the
first Reggie Fortune story), Carl Stephenson,
Sinclair Lewis and a large selection of Kipling,
including the complete Mowgli stories
and "The Man Who Would Be King." We've also
added an article about Sleeman's An Account
of Wolves Nurturing Children in Their Dens,
that includes a complete reprinting of
the work.
In Comics, there is an overview of Superman
#205 ("The Man Who Destroyed Krypton!")
and a look at a Steve Ditko illustrated
story that bears a strong resemblance to a
well-known story by Carl Stephenson.The Pictures
section starts with a group of collectible
(and some not so) items and is the first
of 24 collections.
The site is hoping for subscribers to
keep it going and future plans call for
more stories, more articles and there are
a number of novels we also intend to add to
the mix.
New material will be appearing
on the last Friday of each month (which means
we'll have more new stuff at the end of
February).
In a few month s, we will
also be offering ebooks: on the site (in PDF)
and at Amazon and B&N in their
proprietary formats.

LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL
Now available for pre-order!
Production Update from Haffner
Press!
Proofreading
is also complete on this title as well. We are still waiting for clearances
and permissions on a several texts and images that we
feel MUST be a part of this book.
And remember, there's a NEW AND UNPUBLISHED Brackett-tale in here!
Leigh Brackett (1915-1978), noted
author of mystery & science fiction novels—with screenplays
for THE BIG SLEEP, RIO BRAVO and THE EMPIRE
STRIKES BACK—sees her Centennial
celebrated with a previously unpublished story
in the forthcoming Haffner Press collection: LEIGH
BRACKETT CENTENNIAL.
Discovered by editor Stephen Haffner, Brackett’s
unpublished story “They” is a mature science fiction
tale of power and intrigue, of homegrown
xenophobia versus stellar exploration,
with an answer to the ultimate question:
“Are we alone?”
“They” leads off this tribute volume collecting
the majority of Brackett’s nonfiction writings,
supplemented with vintage interviews and commentaries/remembrances
from such luminaries as Ray Bradbury, Michael Moorcock, Richard
A. Lupoff and more.
“Her dialogue crackled, the characters lived and
breathed. For any burgeoning fan of film,
you couldn’t ask for a better inspiration than
Leigh Brackett.” —George Lucas
“She had a marvelous ability for moving a narrative
along…I remember one story of mine which
had me frozen…she took over and wrote the
first thousand words—and it was published that way.”
—Ray Bradbury
LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL covers numerous facets
and events of Brackett’s life, in her own
words, and in the words of those who knew her:
- Brackett writes of bringing Philip Marlowe
into the 1970s for Robert Altman’s
The Long Goodbye . . .
- SF-author and NASA employee Joseph Green
records the time he hosted Brackett
at the launch of Apollo XII . . .
- Bookseller Ray Walsh documents the day he
escorted Brackett to view a new groundbreaking space-fantasy
film in the summer 1977 . . .
Available for preorder, LEIGH BRACKETT CENTENNIAL
continues the effort begun in 2002 by Haffner
Press to collect, preserve, and present the
works of Leigh Brackett for current and future
generations.

FREDRIC BROWN MYSTERY LIBRARY
VOLUME 1: MURDER DRAWS A CROWD
(Writer) Fredric Brown,
Jack Seabrook (Cover) Norman Saunders
Still available for pre-order!
Production Update from Haffner
Press!
As recounted
previously, this book was actually printed in December 2015, but the
binding job was so poor (we can show you in Chicago) that we
rejected the run and the printer refused to correct the situation.
We are updating the book to a 2016 release and plan
to send it and DEATH IN THE DARK to a different printer at
the same time.
A massive fix of liquor-fueled
murder, smoke-clouded mystery, and hard-hitting revenge
from the author of The Screaming Mimi
and The Fabulous Clipjoint. This archival-quality
hardcover assembles 38 incredibly rare
stories from 1938-1942, with the original Pulp artwork
from such magazines as Thrilling Detective, Masked
Detective, Detective Fiction Weekly, and more. This
is the book Fredric Brown fans have been
waiting for!
Introduction by Jack Seabrook
ISBN: 9781893887787
744 pages
Over 100 illustrations
39 pulp magazine stories: • Detective
• Mystery • Horror • Western
100-pg appendix with the "V.O.N. Munchdriller"
& "William Z. Williams" comedies
Decorated endpapers
Smythe-sewn binding
Full cloth-covered binding boards
Preorder
price: $40
On publication: $45

Haffner Press
Proofreading is complete and Fredric
Brown bibliographer Jack Seabrook is hard at work on his
introduction. We still need to secure a few logos for
the decorated endsheets. We want a different cover for this book.
The Saunders piece here is fine, but it doesn't match any
of the contents. Once all materials are complete, we'll send this
to the printer alongside MURDER DRAWS A CROWD.
“. . . enough good people
put Brown on their must-read lists and then become
evangelists to keep his name alive on the
same high shelf as Hammett, Thompson, Ross Macdonald
and other crime icons. Somewhere up in literary heaven,
I hope he’s looking down, sipping a beer, playing
his flute and smiling.”—Dick Adler, Chicago Tribune
While the editor of this series only recently
came upon the above quote from 2008, these
eyes read no truer words. Work has been underway
for nearly a year on assembling the
first two volumes of a series provisionally titled
LOADED: THE COLLECTED FREDRIC BROWN. Now
is your chance to get in on the ground floor
of what is hoped to be the definitive collection of
Fredric Brown sans his science fiction works. Assembled
in chronological order of publication, this set will
contain all the short fiction (of all genres: mystery,
horror, noir, western, detection, etc.) and all of
Brown’s novels (again, excepting his sf works). You’ll
be able to enjoy Fredric Brown at his longer lengths
from The Fabulous Clipjoint and Night of the Jabberwock to
The Lenient Beast and Mrs. Murphy’s Underpants.
Assisting with this effort have been Brown
bibliographer Phil Stephensen-Payne and Brown biographer
Jack Seabrook. This massive undertaking could
not have been accomplished without their
help.

The Watcher at the Door: The Early Kuttner, Volume Two
Now available for
pre-order!
Edited by
Stephen Haffner
Foreword by Robert A. Madle
Introduction by Dr. Garyn G. Roberts
Cover Art by Jon Arfstrom
700+ page Hardcover
$45.00
Production Update from Haffner
Press!
The artwork
is in hand, along with the introduction and foreword. Proofreading is also
complete, so this will likely be the next title to go to the printer!
Before his marriage to (and subsequent
collaborations with) Catherine L. Moore,
Henry Kuttner was a frequent contributor
to the pulp magazines that specialized in
the weird, supernatural, horror, and science
fiction genre. Beginning in 1936, with the
minor classic “The Graveyard Rats,” Kuttner launched a steady
stream of short stories aimed at Weird Tales, Strange
Stories, Thrilling Mystery, and others.
Writing for Weird Tales brought Kuttner into
direct correspondence with that magazine’s
premier contributor. H. P. Lovecraft.
Kuttner set several stories in Lovecraft’s “Cthulhu
Mythos” and two are presented in THE WATCHER AT THE
DOOR: “Hydra” and “The Hunt.”
At this point in his still-young career, Kuttner
had cracked the science fiction market
and was steadily publishing in Thrilling Wonder
Stories, Fantastic Adventures, Science Fiction, and
made his first sale to the new prestigious fantasy
magazine, UNKNOWN.
In the course of writing the stories collected
in this volume, Kuttner married Catherine
Lucille Moore on June 7, 1940
(in New York with artist Virgil Finlay as Best
Man).
THE WATCHER AT THE DOOR is the second volume
in a three-volume “Early Kuttner”
set collecting many of Kuttner’s earliest
stories, most of which have never been
reprinted.

The Complete Ivy Frost
by Donald Wandrei
Cover Art by Raymond Swanland
Now available for pre-order!
Production
Update from Haffner Press!
Currently going through another
round of proofreading, we have the cover art on hand (Raymond
Swanland rocks it again!) and we await the introduction.
The cover titles will be redone in a bronze/copper hue, and a
lot of work remains on cleaning up all the covers of Clues Detective
Stories that decorate the endsheets as well as designing eighteen
double-page chapterheads.
It may come as a surprise to some that
Donald Wandrei wrote more mysteries
than all his horror, fantasy,
and science fiction tales combined. This volume
collects all eighteen adventures of Wandrei’s
ratiocinative detective I.V. Frost,
who is ably assisted by his beautiful and tough
female assistant, Jean Moray. A scientist and inventor,
Frost has his own approach to solving mysteries.
Rather than following the usual hard-drinking, trench-coated
style of many of his contemporaries, Frost’s strategy was
to mix the logic of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s
Sherlock Holmes with the technology of Lester
Dent’s Doc Savage. In 2000, D.H. Olson edited a volume
published by Fedogan and Bremer collecting the first
eight of Frost’s adventures. A second volume of the remaining
10 tales was promised but never materialized.

Update from Haffner Press!
This magnificent tome has been
proofread twice and Ed Gorman's wonderful introduction has
been delivered.
In Hollywood terms, we put this "in turnaround" while we seek
a cover design that reflects the atmosphere of late-1950s
San Francisco.

A massive omnibus of four novels from
the late 1950s all featuring the amateur
sleuthing of San Francisco psychoanalyst Michael
Gray.

killer!
The Murder of Ann Avery —Psychoanalyst
solves brutal slaying!
Murder of a Mistress —Psychoanalyst Michael Gray

too much about too many men who had too
damned much to lose.
Murder of a Wife —Marked for Murder! No
one believed her—not even the police!

Haffner Press Status Update:
Nearly everything is in hand to bring
this 4-novel omnibus to you.
Once we have Fredric Brown's MURDER DRAWS
A CROWD under our belt and out
in the wild, this is the next title to
go to press.
NOTE: this title is part of a 3-book combo
of Horror & Detective titles that

The Six Sleepers, The Collected
Edmond Hamilton, Volume Five
Now available for pre-order!
Production
Update from Haffner Press!
Bob Madle's fantastic intro is done
and the manuscript has been proofread. Additional work is
needed cleaning up the graphics for the appendix.
Following on from THE REIGN OF THE ROBOTS, THE COLLECTED
EDMOND HAMILTON, VOLUME FOUR, THE SIX SLEEPERS, THE COLLECTED
EDMOND HAMILTON, VOLUME FIVE brings you more of the World
Wreckers vintage works.
Here, Hamilton really put his Remington’s to the task with more
stories for WEIRD TALES as well as some of his best work
(which is to say some of the best work ever to appear
in) for WONDER STORIES. Depending on the length of ephemera
in the appendix, this volume may also see Hamilton crack the
Tremaine-era of ASTOUNDING STORIES.
As with previous volumes in this series, an appendix showcasing
the original pulp magazine illustrations also bulks large
with obscura including reader’s letters from the vintage
magazines commenting on these stories, along with editorial
correspondence between Hamilton and his editors.

Hollywood on the Moon / Man About Time: The Pete Manx Adventures
Arthur K. Barnes & Henry Kuttner
Now available for pre-order!
Production
Update from Haffner Press!
We had an introduction lined up for
this from a noted SF comic, but it appears to have evaporated.
The book also needs different cover art.
This Bergey image from Startling Stories, while awesome, doesn't
match the time-frame of these stories. We'll have
more news later this year.
Prior to his marriage
to fellow science-fantasy writer Catherine L. Moore in 1940, Henry Kuttner
wrote stories of Lovecraftian horror, weird-menace “shudder” tales, and thrilling
adventure stories. But he also wrote blood-n-thunder Space Opera
stories in the vein of Edmond Hamilton (one of young Kuttner’s
favorite authors) told with a rough-edge style similar
to Kuttner’s protege Leigh Brackett.
Arthur K. Barnes, an early friend of Kuttner, published his
first story “Lord of the Lightning” for Wonder Stories
in December 1931. His “Interplanetary Hunter” series featuring
Miss Gerry Carlyle of the London Interplanetary Zoo was
originally published in Thrilling Wonder Stories.
Together, Kuttner & Barnes collaborated (and in some cases,
wrote independently) on two series of science fiction
adventures for Thrilling Wonder Stories. The first, the
“Hollywood on the Moon” series, featured ace cameraman Tony
Quade of Nine Planets Films, Inc. and his crew skipping
around the solar system (even teaming up with Gerry Carlyle
a few times!) humorously encountering all manner of weird alien
life.
The second series, dealt with the hilarious temporal romps
of carnival barker, conman, and small-time crook Pete Manx.
Pete is always on the run from some debt collector,
or running to his lastest scam for an easy buck. Inevitably,
Manx always ends up in the laboratory of Dr. Mayhem, whose
unreliable time machine launches Pete into the past where
he finds himself in hotter water than before.
This volume collects all the SF collaborations of these two
punsters and features the interior illustrations of the original
magazines.

Before he was a comic-book pioneer, Major
Malcolm-Wheeler Nicholson wrote adventure tales for
the great pulp magazines—and no run-of-the-mill
pulp fiction was it. The Major served as
a cavalry officer on the southwest border
during the Mexican Revolution. While the First
World War raged in Europe, he fought the Moro
insurgency in the southern Philippines.
Then followed his strangest assignment,
conducting espionage in legendarily hostile
Siberia. After the war he was stationed in
Western Europe. These places became the settings
for the majority of his hardboiled adventure
stories. His use of authentic detail, combined
with his superior storytelling ability, make
his stories difficult to put down. You read
one of the Major’s entrancing tales—and your imagination
is transported back to those real places of danger and
daring!
This inaugural collection of the Major’s
fiction includes stories set in all
four of his real-life arenas, originally published
in top adventure pulps: Adventure, Argosy, The
Popular Magazine. It is time for the Major
to receive his due—as one of the genuine larger-than-life
men of the pulps. Included is an in-depth introduction
by Nicky Wheeler-Nicholson, the Major’s granddaughter.
“Yes, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson
is one of the very, very few people responsible for the
birth of the comic book industry as
the visionary founder of what we today call
DC Comics. And, yes, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson
is one of the very, very few people responsible
for giving the world Superman.”
Michael Uslan,
Executive Producer of all the Batman
movies,
Comic book historian, and author of his
memoir, The Boy Who Loved Batman.
“Not many adventure writers
can claim to have based their stories on their
own exploits. Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson could—and
because of it, his evocations of heroism and
combat have a believability and a personal
depth unlike anything else in pulp fiction.”
Gerard Jones,
Author of Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters
and the Birth of the Comic Book.

PANACEA: A Novel -
Coming July 5!
by F. Paul Wilson
Two secret societies vie for control of the ultimate
medical miracle--Panacea--in the latest novel by New York
Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson.
Medical examiner Laura Hanning has two charred corpses
and no answers. Both bear a mysterious tattoo but
exhibit no known cause of death. Their only connection
to one another is a string of puzzling miracle cures.
Her preliminary investigation points to a cult in the possession
of the fabled panacea--the substance that can cure all
ills--but that's impossible.
Laura finds herself unknowingly enmeshed in an ancient
conflict between the secretive keepers of the
panacea and the equally secretive and far more deadly
group known only as 536, a brotherhood that fervently
believes God intended for humanity to suffer, not be
cured. Laura doesn't believe in the panacea, but that doesn't
prevent the agents of 536 from trying to kill her.
A reclusive, terminally ill billionaire hires Laura
to research the possibility of the panacea. The billionaire's
own body guard, Rick Hayden, a mercenary who isn't
who he pretends to be, has to keep her alive as they
race to find the legendary panacea before the agents of
536 can destroy it.

arctic wastes teeming with bizarre and savage beasts,
fantastic monsters that defy evolution or
reason. A dazzling variety of warlike peoples, whom,
despite obvious technological advances, still swear,
live and die by the sword.
Then, there’s the princess, of course.
The most beautiful woman of at least two worlds,
stunning, sensual and immediately desirable. Strong
of will and of unquestionable moral fiber, she is
not only worth fighting and dying for, but worth
defying a world for, just to receive a kind word or shy
smile. |

BLACK WINGS V
Now available for pre-order!
Shipping in May!
This fifth instalment of S. T. Joshi’s critically
acclaimed Black Wings series features twenty stories that
use H. P. Lovecraft’s mythos as the basis for imaginative ventures
into the weird and terrifying. One of the central themes in
Lovecraft’s work is the problematical nature of science in human
affairs, and in this volume we find stories by Caitlín R.
Kiernan, Lynne Jamneck, and Donald R. Burleson where scientists
come face to face with the appalling implications of their
discoveries.
Lovecraft was a master of the “sense of place,” inventing
imaginary towns in New England with a rich and sinister
history stretching back centuries. In this book, Jonathan
Thomas, W. H. Pugmire, and Sunni K Brock bring Lovecraft’s
towns of Arkham, Kingsport, and Innsmouth to life. Sam Gafford,
Darrell Schweitzer, and Stephen Woodworth evoke terror in other
corners of the American continent, while British writers David Hambling
and John Reppion find Lovecraftian horror in little-known towns in
England. The world-building that led Lovecraft to fashion an entire
universe set in the realm of dreams is duplicated in tales by Cody
Goodfellow, Mark Howard Jones, and Donald Tyson.
Madness is always an occupational hazard of the “searchers
after horror” who populate Lovecraft’s tales. In this
volume, stories by Robert H. Waugh, Nicole Cushing, and
Nancy Kilpatrick searingly display the psychological aberrations
of characters as they encounter the bizarre. Lovecraft himself
has become an iconic character, and his gaunt, lantern-jawed
figure stalks the tales by Jason C. Eckhardt and Mollie L.
Burleson. This volume concludes, as did its predecessor, with
a long poem by Wade German, one of the most dynamic figures
in a remarkable renaissance of weird poetry inspired by the work
of Lovecraft and his colleagues.
Black Wings V can take its place as a pioneering anthology
that shows how the work of H. P. Lovecraft is inexhaustibly
rich in the inspiration it can provide to contemporary writers
of weird fiction.

Thursday,
July 21 through Sunday, July 24, 2016
Are you thinking about attending
PulpFest 2016? You’re probably wondering what to expect
from this year’s convention. PulpFest is known for
its great programming and the line-up that we’re planning
for our 2016 convention is shaping up to be one of our
best.
We’ll be saluting a wide range of anniversaries at this summer’s
pulp con: the tenth anniversary of Sanctum Books; the
eightieth anniversary of THE WHISPERER and THE SKIPPER;
the ninetieth anniversary of AMAZING STORIES, the first
science-fiction pulp; the hundredth anniversary of the specialty
pulp; and the 120th anniversary of THE ARGOSY, the original
pulp magazine!
The Guest of Honor for PulpFest
2016 will be author, editor, musician, and science-fiction
and pulp fan Ted White.
Born February 4, 1938, Theodore Edwin White is a Hugo
Award-winning American writer, best known as a science-fiction
author and editor and as a fan and music critic.
In addition to books and stories written under his own
name, he has also co-authored novels with Dave van Arnam as
Ron Archer, and with Terry Carr as Norman Edwards.
Since the time he was a teenager, White has been a prolific
contributor to science-fiction fanzines, and in 1968
he won the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. Despite his
considerable professional credits, White maintains that
his achievements in fandom mean more to him than anything
else he has done. In 1953, he edited and published ZIP,
the first of his many fanzines. In 1956–57, he co-edited STELLAR
with Larry Stark; followed by VOID in 1960, joining founding
editors Gregory and James Benford; plus MINAC, EGOBOO, and
others. He was also a regular columnist for YANDRO and Richard E.
Geis’ PSYCHOTIC/SF REVIEW and has been active in numerous fan
events, including the organizing of the 1967 World Science Fiction
Convention in New York City as co-chairman. He still remains active
on several fandom- and fanzine-oriented electronic mailing lists.
In 1959, at the age of 21, White moved from Baltimore
to New York City with his first wife, Sylvia Dees White.
That year, he began writing music criticism for METRONOME
and a column for Tom Wilson’s JAZZ GUIDE (later 33 GUIDE).
As a music critic, he expanded into jazz writing and journalism
for ROGUE, along with record liner notes, concert reviews and
interviews. He was the only person to record an interview with
Eric Dolphy, the American jazz alto saxophonist, flautist,
and bass clarinetist. From 1977 through 1979 as Dr. Progresso,
he did the Friday afternoon DR. PROGRESSO radio show on WGTB-FM.
Following the advent of the Internet, White became the music
editor of the Collecting Channel website in 1999, and he continues
to maintain his own website of music commentary under his
Dr. Progresso pseudonym.
White’s first professional sale as a writer was
a short vignette sold to PLAYBOY in 1959. Two stories
released on the same day — “Phoenix,” written by Ted
White and revised by Marion Zimmer Bradley for the February
1963 AMAZING STORIES and “I, Executioner,” co-authored by Terry
Carr for the March 1963 IF (WORLDS OF SCIENCE FICTION) — have
been cited by our guest as his first-published stories. The
author later expanded “Phoenix” into the novel PHOENIX PRIME, originally
published in 1966 by Lancer Books. It was the first of the
QANAR series — continuing with THE SORCERESS OF QAR (1966) and STAR
WOLF (1971) — all published by Lancer. “I Executioner” became the
opening chapter of his Ace book, ANDROID AVENGER.
Captain AmericaTed’s first novel — INVASION FROM 2500 —
was written in collaboration with Terry Carr under the
pseudonym Norman Edwards. It was published in 1964. Through
1978 he wrote two science-fiction series and eleven stand-alone
novels, including one Captain America novel — THE GREAT
GOLD STEAL. It was published by Bantam Books and featured
a nod to its pulp forebears: one of the bad guys is named Andrew
“Monk” Mayfair. Two of White’s novels were written in collaboration
with Dave van Arnam, one with David Bischoff and one — using
White’s Doc Phoenix character — with Marv Wolfman. Ted White was
a 1966 Nebula-Award nominee for his short story, “The Peacock
King,” written with Larry McCombs. He was also instrumental in
kick-starting the professional careers of other writers, notably
Lee Hoffman. Still writing at nearly seventy-eight years of age,
White has had a number of short stories published in recent years.
“The Uncertain Past” appeared in the March & April 2014 number
of THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION while”The Philistine”
can be found in the October 2015 issue of ANALOG SCIENCE FICTION
AND FACT.
Our Guest of Honor’s editorial career began as an assistant
and associate editor at THE MAGAZINE OF FANTASY AND
SCIENCE FICTION from 1963 to 1968. He also served as an associate
editor at Lancer Books, working under Larry Shaw.
From October 1968 until October 1978, Ted White edited AMAZING
STORIES and FANTASTIC, upgrading the quality of both magazine’s
fiction while showcasing a variety of talented illustrators.
According to author, anthologist, and science-fiction and popular-culture
historian, Mike Ashley, White ushered “AMAZING into a silver,
if not a golden, age.” He also edited two 1973 anthologies,
THE BEST FROM AMAZING STORIES and THE BEST FROM FANTASTIC.
Both were published by Manor Books.
Ted White’s reputation as an editor impressed the publishers
of HEAVY METAL who hired him in 1979 to introduce
non-fiction into the magazine. White immediately hired four
columnists — Jay Kinney, Lou Stathis, Steve Brown and
Bhob Stewart — to cover, respectively, underground comics,
music, science fiction, and movies. HEAVY METAL continued
to feature mainly graphic stories during White’s tenure as the
new editor wove the text into the graphic art, rather than segregating
it into a separate section. In 1984-85, Ted White served
as Editorial Director for STARDATE, a multi-media science-fiction
magazine edited by David Bischoff.
Ted became a pulp collector as a teenager. He owns most
of the science-fiction pulps from the 1940s and many
from the twenties and thirties. Among his holdings are complete
runs of SCIENCE WONDER STORIES and AIR WONDER STORIES, both
issues of MIRACLE SCIENCE AND FANTASY STORIES, all the Futurian-edited
magazines, the complete run of CAPTAIN FUTURE, and many
other titles. His library of pulp and science-fiction digests
is complete from 1951 through the nineties. He also owns many
single-character pulps, including all but one issue of DOC SAVAGE
MAGAZINE and a couple dozen issues of THE SHADOW. He also has
many issues of THE AVENGER, CAPTAIN ZERO, THE PHANTOM DETECTIVE,
THE WHISPERER, and other hero pulps in his collection.
White also plays keyboards and saxophone. He currently
performs with the Washington, DC area improvisational
group Conduit. Although we’d love to have him play, Ted will
be speaking to PulpFest attendees during our evening
programming about his career, fandom, pulps, science
fiction, and AMAZING STORIES. His Guest of Honor speech
will take place on Friday, July 22nd in the PulpFest programming
room at the Hyatt Regency Columbus. We hope to see you at
the convention.
To give you an idea about what you’ll encounter from
July 21st through July 24th at the Hyatt Regency and the
city’s spacious convention center in the Columbus, Ohio
Arena district, below is the proposed scheduled for PulpFest
2016. We hope to see you at the convention.

Pulp Magazines Project
- Now online!
Publishing legends The Black Mask (1920),
Weird Tales (1923), and Amazing Stories
(1926) are considered so “extremely rare
and valuable” that the U.S. Library of Congress houses
its collection of 277 issues in Washington, D.C.’s
Rare Book and Special Collections Division—along
with the personal libraries of Presidents, medieval
and Renaissance manuscripts, and one
of only three known perfect copies of the Gutenberg
Bible in existence. With its latest addition
of 4 issues of The Black Mask (Aug. &
Sept. 1920; Dec. 1921; and Apr. 1922), the Pulp
Magazines Project has made all 3 classic titles
available together—for the first time—in high-quality,
cover-to-cover digital editions.
Also available at the Pulp Magazines Project,
new issues of the iconic “weird menace”
pulp, Dime Mystery Magazine (Apr.
1938 and Sept. 1946); Adventure (Jul.
1, 1928; feat. Walt Coburn’s “The Man Who
Hated Himself”); Western Story (Jul. 27, 1940);
Detective Story (May 1938; feat. Zorro-creator Johnston
McCulley’s “Thubway Tham’s Thothial Thecurity”);
and histories of both The Black Mask (E.R.
Hagemann; UCLA) and Dime Mystery Magazine (Emily
Sisler; University of West Florida).
The Pulp Magazines
Project is an open-access digital archive dedicated to the
study and preservation of one of the twentieth century's most influential
literary & artistic forms: the all-fiction pulpwood magazine. The
Project also provides information on the history of this important
but long neglected medium, along with biographies of pulp authors, artists,
and their publishers.
At the heart of the Project's mission
is the archive itself. In summer 2011,
it began with a modest library of
five representative first-generation pulp titles from
the early twentieth century. Over time, the archive will
expand, new magazines will be digitized,
and contextual materials added. Eventually,
the archive will feature a broad range of
pre-1923 titles, post-1923 titles where copyright
has lapsed, and full volume runs of select
titles from 1896 to 1946.
The Project is dedicated to fostering
ties between communities of collectors,
fans, and academics devoted to pulp
magazines, and will offer opportunities for research
and collaboration to both scholars and
enthusiasts alike. We will provide information on
upcoming conferences and conventions, and promote
new working relationships between academics and the
hundreds of pulp fans and collectors beyond
the college and university.

Secret Agent "X" #11 Audiobook
The Sinister Scourge
by Paul Chadwick writing as Brant House
Read by Milton Bagby
Now available!
His true face unknown, his identity forever buried
in a secret government file, Secret Agent “X” came back from the dead
to take on the sinister sadists and evil extortionists who prey on innocent
Americans. A master of disguise who carries a non-lethal gas gun,
“X” the unknown is backed by a cabal of wealthy citizens and is answerable
only to the shadowy K-9 in Washington.
|
|
Unseen, horrible as the tightening coils of some spectral serpent,
the dope ring worked! Those who betrayed its secrets died in the
agonies of the green-hued poison death. Those who served it became
sweating, shattered slaves. And Agent “X” dared both death and slavery
to fight the sinister scourge!
The enigma of enigmas, Secret Agent “X” has been deputized by a high
government official to battle the darkest, most diabolical enemies
of America before they sink their poisonous fangs into the nation’s
healthy core. Faceless and unsung, “X” infiltrates these threats in
a bewildering array of disguises.
Paul Chadwick specialized in telling melodramatic mystery yarns saturated
in an atmosphere of impending doom. The pulp editors called
these menace stories. Eventually, these thrillers evolved into sub-genre
known as weird menace. In Secret Agent “X”, a cloud of diabolical
danger hangs over the heads of every innocent character until
“X”, using his fists, his gas gun, or his loyal operatives, shatters
the threat for all time.
No one knew who Secret Agent “X” really was. Not his readers. Not
his editors. Not even his writer, conceivably. To this day in the
21st Century, his true identity is still a deep mystery. That’s
keeping a secret!
Follow the Man of a Thousand Faces as he confronts the menace of The
Sinister Scourge, ripped from the pages of Secret Agent “X” magazine,
January 1935 and read with chilling intensity by Milton Bagby.

Introduction by Will Murray
The Enemy is Here! — Editorial
Thrilling Feature-Length Novel of America’s Undercover Ace
The Dawn That Shook the World by Curtis Steele
Over the entire civilized world had broken the terrible, false dawn
of anarchy and revolution that threatened to consume America in its
fury! But Operator 5 and his volunteer aides saw one desperate chance
to avert disaster. Overseas sailed this valiant little band, on them
resting the final hope of civilization. And there, in his lair, they
found and fought, blow upon blow, the devil dictator who had sworn to
weld the whole world into an evil empire and make an end, for all time,
of freedom, justice and liberty!
Things That Made America Great
The Guns That Swam to Battle by Morton Taney
Only one British fort stood between the Colonial troops and a great
victory — yet that fort was impregnable. In this hour of darkness
for young America’s hopes, a single ray of light gleamed. For one
Yankee, who wouldn’t be licked, had found the way to beat the world’s
greatest army — without firing a single bullet!

Horror Stories eBook
John H. Knox
Now available!
These exciting pulp adventures
have been beautifully reformatted for easy reading as an eBook. As a special
bonus, Will Murray has written an introduction especially for this Horror
Stories series of eBooks.
Horror Stories! The dark companion to Dime Mystery Magazine. Created
to showcase stories too horrible for Terror Tales. The third of
the triumvirate of fear pulps. This brand of fiction came to be called
Weird Menace. The mystery-and-menace formula proved so successful
that publisher Popular Publications produced Dime Mystery Magazine,
Terror Tales and Horror Stories. These three dominated the Weird Menace
genre all through the 1930s. Blurbed as “mystery-horror” stories
instead of “mystery-terror,” Horror Stories was formulated differently
that its companion titles. Damn the plot. Pour on the menace! This
ebook contains a collection of stories from the pages of Horror Stories
magazine, all written by Arthur J. Burks, reissued for today’s readers
in electronic format.

Horror Stories — An Introduction by Will Murray
Men Without Blood — January 1935 issue of Horror Stories by John
H. Knox
Even knives could draw from them no blood. Yet it was blood that
they sought, blood that they sucked from their victim’s headless
corpses!
The Blood Moon — July 1935 issue of Horror Stories by John Knox
The man who had come to help Cicely Blain had to look on, impotent
and horrified, as the ritual fiends prepared to strip the skin from
her quivering body.
When the Blood-God Ruled — November 1935 issue of Horror Stories
by John H. Knox
They called her the Lady of the Night — that savage goddess who exacted
terrible sacrifices from her worshippers. Could Stanley Osborn,
knowing his only hope of escaping agonizing death at her hands,
call on another deity — in whom he would never believe!
The Pain People — February-March 1937 issue of Horror Stories by
John H. Knox
She gloried in the ecstasy of the passion-crazed and moon-blinded
beings whose priestess she was. And she led the man who loved her,
unsuspecting, down the tortuous midnight paths of that hell where
Pain is King!
Dance of the Beast People — December 1940 issue of Horror Stories
by John H. Knox
What was it that turned those simple miners’ wives into savage, snarling
beasts, hungry for the kill? Could it be that in them still flowed
the horror-tainted blood of the Nagualists — that the black sorcery
of a distant past had come again out into the open to ravage and
destroy?

Ever since Biblo and Tannen placed a banner
across the cover art of TARZAN AND THE CASTAWAYS
to keep from shocking the public, fans have longed
to see the famous Frazetta image properly displayed
on their copies of the Canaveral Press dust-jacket.
Now, after over 100 hours of research, careful study
of more than 70 different Frazetta watercolors,
and careful production, the Alternate Timeline™
version of TARZAN AND THE CASTAWAYS is available from
Recoverings.
With coloring approved by Frazetta friend and collector,
and Edgar Rice Burroughs scholar Robert
R. Barrett, this full color dust-jacket presents the
art with the same palette and watercolor techniques that
Frazetta himself might well have used at that
point in his career.
Here is a new way to see and display the final collection
of ERB’s shorter Tarzan stories. This is how
the jacket might have looked if Canaveral had
had the money to do it right.
A limited edition, only 64 of these jackets will
be available.
Each will be individually printed, to order, on an
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, with 8-color UltraChromeK3
archival inks on 47lb. Red River Premium Matte
paper, to closely match the stock of the original.
Each jacket will be numbered and inscribed to the
buyer.
Limited
to 64 copies: $40.00

Robert E. Howard Days
June 10 and 11, 2016!
The Robert E. Howard Foundation and Project Pride
of Cross Plains, Texas are proud to announce the dates
and Guest of Honor for the 2016 version of Howard Days,
to be held June 10th and 11th at the Robert E. Howard Museum
in Cross Plains.
This year’s Guest of Honor is Michael Scott Myers, screenwriter
for the movie The Whole Wide World, the biographical
film based on the book One Who Walked Alone, which recounted
the relationship between Robert E. Howard and Novalyne Price.
We are happy to welcome Michael as our GOH, as he is the perfect
person to blend with our Howard Days theme this year, Anniversaries.
2016 finds us with a number of important Robert E. Howard
Anniversaries: 110 years since his birth, 80 years since
his death, 70 years since the publication of Skull Face
and Others, 50 years since Conan the Adventurer from
Lancer, 40 years since Glenn Lord’s The Last Celt, 30 years since
Novalyne Price Ellis’ One Who Walked Alone and 20 years
since the movie The Whole Wide World (which was based on Novalyne’s
book).
Michael’s involvement with The Whole Wide World began
with his being a student of Novalyne Price Ellis in Lafayette,
LA. Having read her book about Howard, he knew what
a wonderful movie it would make. So, our Guest of Honor
is doubly qualified this year and we’re thrilled to have
him.
There is lots more information to follow and you can
read about it here and at the Howard Days blog. While the
cold winds of January are blowing now, make plans to come to
Texas in June where the warmth will be in both the air and
in the fellowship of Robert E. Howard fans!

THE RESTORATION
The existing feature version of TARZAN THE
FEARLESS is a hastily-assembled condensation of the original
material which presents a good deal of it out
of order and some scenes without proper setup or
explanation.
Additional footage not seen since the serial's
original release has been made available to the
Squadron which will be incorporated into this
DVD restoration of the serial that will be presented
in original single-chapter form, with opening and closing
titles and cliffhanger endings intact.
Existing content here is presented in its original
cliffhanger format, and every chapter is
represented in the DVD. Stil-missing sections
have been reconstructed and summarized according
to the available information in the existing original
script draft, the Big Little Book text, and published
descriptions of chapters as released.
The content which remains missing from the serial
involved a capture of the explorers by
the Koso tribe and their escape from execution,
and a sequence in which Tarzan rescues Mary from capture
by the soldiers of Zar but is knocked from a high rock
by a thrown bolo, then rescued by his friend Taug the
gorilla. Photos from both sequences are included in the
DVD.
Light toning effects are used mostly on the early
episodes to help bring out the clarity of the
image and define action locations.

TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE: SEASON ONE
- Coming June 14!
“Just in time for Father’s Day and the theatrical release,
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment will release the long awaited
animated series that aired when Saturday Morning Cartoons reigned
supreme. Available on DVD on June 14, 2016, Tarzan, Lord Of The
Jungle: Complete Season One was created by the Filmation Studio
for CBS and follows the animated adventures of Edgar Rice Burroughs’
ape man from the 1970’s. The two-disc collectors set includes all
16 episodes from the series’ first season, and is priced to own at
$19.98 SRP.
As the opening narration explains: “The jungle: Here I was born;
and here my parents died when I was but an infant. I would have
soon perished, too, had I not been found by a kindly she-ape
named Kala, who adopted me as her own and taught me the ways of
the wild. I learned quickly, and grew stronger each day, and now I
share the friendship and trust of all jungle animals. The jungle
is filled with beauty, and danger; and lost cities filled with good,
and evil. This is my domain, and I protect those who come here; for
I am Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle!”
“Tarzan, Lord Of The Jungle was animated the old fashion way, with
many hours of hand drawn stills,” said Mary Ellen Thomas, Vice President
Family & Animation Marketing and Partner Brands. “They don’t
make animation like this anymore, and we are really proud to be releasing
this timeless classic just in time for the July release of Tarzan in
theaters.”
