The book and themagazine version of TARZAN AND THE ANT MEN differ greatly in text. The book deals at length with Tarzan's impersonator of TARZAN and the GOLDEN LION: Esteban Miranda, while the magazine story does not. Also in this book Tarzan was revealed to be a granfather - a fact which has not cropped up since. OUTLAW OF TORN was the second story ERB ever wrote altho it was the 3rd published. This was intended to be a serious novel and he spent 6 months in research work for it. It was a financial failure considering the time spent, so he didn't fool much with research in the future. The research for this novel was not altogether a loss, though, for he did use a lot of the material later in TARZAN, LORD OF THE JUNGLE. There may be some connection between the TARZAN COMIC STRIP: "TARZAN & THE MAYAN GODDESS" and "THE QUEST OF TARZAN" from the 1941 ARGOSY. "BEYOND THE FARTHEREST STAR" was supposed to have been the first of a series, and is considered as a good piece of satire. Otis Adelbert Kline's novel "Buccaneers of Venus" did not appear in ARGOSY because at the time he submitted it ERB submitted PIRATES OF VENUS. The story was similar in locale and title and even though they had already printed 2 of Kline's Venus novels, they turned it down because ERB was a greater drawing card. the Farley also had/same trouble. He wrote a couple of novels about the Earth's Core and ARGOSY delayed them for years because of ERB's Pellucidar series. A LIST OF VARIOUS E.R.BURROUGHS COMICS, BIG LITTLE BOOKS, AND SIMILAR.
