Edgar Rice Burroughs - FACTS ON THE WORKS of EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS - Compiled by D.C.Richardson. The general magazine title of the book: JUNGLE TALES OF TARZAN in BLUE BOOK was "New Stroies of Tarzan". This series was published in 12 short stories with the same titles as the chapter headings in the book. TARZAN THE UNTAMED in RED BOOK contained fully 75% of the complere book. TARZAN AND THE VALLEY OF LUNA in ALL-STORY was about the last quarter of the novel. TARZAN AND THE LION MAN appeared in nine weekly issues of LIBERTY as follows: November 11, 18, 25, December 2, 16, 23, 30, 1933; Jan. 6, 1934 THE book title of the 6th Pellucidar novel is THE LAND OF TERROR. This includes RETURN TO PELLUCIDAR, MEN OF BRONZE and TIGER GIRL. The next Mars book may be titled WAR ON MARS. This book is supposed to include: John Carter and the Giant of Mars, City of Mummies, Black Pirates of Barsoom, Yellow Men of Mars, and Invisible Men of Mars. (Skeleton Men of Jupiter is the first of a new series). ERB is now abroad and can not finish this group right now. The original title for "Slaves of the Fish Men" was "Captured on Venus", This title was probably changed by the Editors of FANTASTIC ADVENTURES. J. Allen St. John said that this was the most remarkable Burroughs story he has ever read or illustrated. According to the BLUE BOOK people -- the original title (as given by ERB) for "Land That Time Forgot" was "The Lost U-Boat". However, it was never printed under this heading. Just before first publication in 1918 the title was changed. According to the BLUE BOOK people -- the original title for "The Oakdale Affair" (as given by ERB) was "Bridge and the Oaskaloosa Kid." "The Outlaw of Torn" was not published complete, but appeared in 5 issues of NEW STORY, i.g., January -- May 1914. "Under the Moons of Mars", the first ERB story ever printed was listed as by NORMAN BEAN, ERB's first and only pen name. Incidentally, the name was supposed to have been NORMAL BEAN, and there was a misprint making it Norman instead of Normal. ERB was not pleased with this typographical error and wrote the editors of ALL-STORY in protest. This was the last time he used a psuedo-name. This information was gleaned from the Sept. 1912 ALL-STORY Magzine. BLUE BOOK MAGAZINE really featured ERB stories. For example: T. AT THE EARTH'S CORE was featured on all seven monthly covers with beautiful color paintings by Frank Hoban. T. AND THE LOST EMPIRE was featured by 4 cover illustrations out of five issues. T., LORD OF THE JUNGLE was featured by 2 cover illustrations out of 6, and the other 4 covers had large "blurbs" announcing Allen St. John. This same illustration is reproduced in the book, both McClurg and GD edition. T. GUARD OF THE JUNGLE in the ENLARGED BLUE BOOK was featured by 6 covers out of 7. THE TRIUMPH OF T. had 2 cover paintings out of six. T. AND LEOPARD MEN had at least 2 cover paintings out of 6. A FIGHTING MAN OF MARS had 5 covers out of 6 and SWORDS OF MARS 2 out of six. Other BLUE BOOK ERB stories featured only the first part of the serial with a cover painting.
