Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875–1950) invented Tarzan and John Carter and then refused to stop inventing. Jungle, Mars, Pellucidar, lost cities: he built a pulp engine that made adventure unapologetic and wildly popular. Tarzan leapt from novels into comics, film, and merchandising until the ape-man became a global icon; Barsoom gave science fantasy a desert romance and a swordsman's swagger. Burroughs wrote fast, for readers who wanted escape with muscle. With 50 titles in our catalogue, he remains the American storyteller who proved that other worlds could feel as immediate as next week's serial.
