Have you ever read GOTHAM 1919 to 1939? I think it's a really fun read and would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Well. Hershman puts together Tarzan with ERB’s planetary core and Mars adventures. And I’ll bet he manages to sneak the girl from Farris’s somewhere in there, too. 😃

A best of edition simply wouldn't be complete without Hour of the Dragon

Wow, I’ve seen every single movie in that book. I can vouch for all of them being quality! I probably would have added Black Christmas, but otherwise stand by the choices. Shame on you for hating on The Tingler and Dressed to Kill! 😂 Also, Saw isn’t bad. The original is not as torture-y as the sequels and had a little more of a story to it.

which omnibus collects the first appearence of black flash ?? i think it’s 138-141 ??

My first job I had to make 100 spiral bound manuals using those type of spirals. I hate them....flashbacks....in foetal position.....😩 It's selling for quite a lot on abebooks and ebay!! I thought it might have been Troy Tradeup's first attempt at writing 🤭

Many moons ago I worked in a book recycling facility and vanity press featured heavily among the recycling. That book actually sounded good by vanity press standards. I obviously didn't read them all as I wanted to keep my sanity but many of them wouldn't have gotten you through a middle school creative writing class. These people really needed a true friend to tell them the truth, "Don't give up the day job", luckily this Tarzan fan had not.

I had the entire TOD collection when I was a kid but my parents made me throw them in the trash, they were afraid I would get nightmares. Evetytime I think about this, it stings.

As a child I read a few Tarzan comics (Kubert etc) but one of the most memorable GNs I read was Tarzan in The Land That Time Forgot. He fights pre-modern men and dinosaurs in that one. A lot of fun.

Stark house has reprinted the original Blackwood sich as "Incredible Adventures" in paperback editions.

That spiral bound book is awesome. arzan and the huggy sloth. A sweet story.

“Looks like he’s holding a stick.” But what my heard was….😂

Phantom Of The Opera is a book that I do roughly once a year. One of my alltime favorites. Masterpiece. 🎩🌂🦇🎻

🏹🔥⚔️

Please do a follow-up video once you've read it. I must know how it turns out!

The most surprising thing about this is that it wasn't written by Lin Carter.

That's a comb binding, not spiral :P

I hope this Edward guy is still around. I hope he's watching your video. I hope he's shedding tears of joy. 😂

Wow. That plot sounds like where they got the ideas for the additional information for the John Carter movie.

"the long and honorable list of booktubers who talk about books they haven't read."❣️ DUDE! Savage. You're right, that book shows a Will to power that modern fandom rarely possesses. The nobility.

Edward Hirschman, doing Gods work with Tarzan pastiche! 🐒 👽

The format reminds me of the Royal Road Test

That cover put a smile on my face, I'd read it for all the wrong reasons and be disappointed if Tarzan doesn't have a passionate encounter a friendly Martian badger.

I am also a critical collector for physical books. Space is limited, so I have only one bookshelf. Thousands of ebooks in the ether, but only my absolute favourites reside on my physical bookshelf. Currently 100 volumes. 😊

Greatest ERB title ever!

This is a great topic for you! I often wonder how on earth you can refrain from buying books during this challenge and have wondered what you would buy. It’s as if you read my mind!😅

Decades ago I read about a novel called Tarzan On Mars in Lupoff's ERB: Master of Adventure. This looks like a Pellucidar/Mars version. Do you know if this is different?

The multiple copyrights make me think this was originally serialized in fanzines. There is nothing to compare to the unique aura of the old fan projects, none of which were done for profit, all of which were mostly pure in their love for their subjects. They may seem naive or unpolished, but to me they are a rare and precious form of expression. Many of my favorite artists and writers in SF and Fantasy came out of the fanzines.

I gather (based on my extensive 2 minutes of internet research) that ERB Inc. has gone after "unauthorized" publications of Tarzan stories based on the theory that even though the copyright has lapsed on many of the Tarzan novels at this point, the character itself is "trademarked" by them. Sounds complicated so I'm going to ask friend who is an intellectual property lawyer how this all works.

ERB, Inc. was pretty litigious back then. This must have flown beneath their radar.

Opossums at Mar's core!!?? 1977....the start of the disco error and the launching of the voyager probes!! (I hope the aliens enjoy Johnny B. Goode!)

I knew you would appreciate this book, Michael. And your skewering of my bizarre finickyness made me laugh so hard I nearly drove into the ditch. Happy Friday!

Edward Herschman's labor of love. An ERB wannabe.

I own a copy of that. I bought it along with a lot of other ERB fan fiction. Thanks for the video, but come on, Michael arent you being a little condescending and dismissive here? Yeah its not perfect, its not ERB,not even close, but it is emblamatic of the love and respect for a beloved author. And the hard work taken to actually pen the novel and get it printed and spiral bound. This fan fiction was obviously a labor of love. I think going THIS route in your video would have been better than simply denegrating a young fans efforts. Just my thoughts. I Enjoy all your content. Thanks for what you do.

Wow that is soooo cooooool! I would love to find one of those. I have some Harry Potter fanfiction but you almost never see hard copies like this You are so lucky there. Happy reading.

Ummm... I'm not sure I'd even try reading that. I might be surprised though! Thanks Michael.

“If it was bound in gold….”, Great stuff! Plus pastiche Tarzan!

Hello Michael Hello. I missed your videos so much. Thank God you showed up at last. Better late than never, as the saying goes. Awesome gifts. Enjoy.

Well, that's a treasure worth holding onto.

Love the spiral binding!!

I love how snooty and pithy your comments can be, but today would have taken the cake if I weren't gluten free.

That’s actually gone quite fast, I could never read 100 books a year 👏

Huzzah! Congrats. Loved the Star Trek joke. I have found with Goodreads, if you are using the app with your phone, updating it when the updates come out helps. But it did try to tell me I was done reading one particular book about 20 times before I had actually finished it. Cleaning that up was fun…🤣

I may still have my copy of that Shadow graphic novel.

Nay, nay, thrice nay! ‘‘Twas not that illiterate actor Shakespeare, but the real author of ‘his’ plays, Sir Francis Bacon…

Really love the way and form of your reviews. Your videos became my weekly 'literature news channel'. Greetings from Germany!

Born in ’68 I was like you lots of monster books and film books, my first book was The Jaws Log. I loved those Films of books, I usually read those in the book store. I used to get stuff from the Scholastic book catalog including that box set of Chronicles of Narnia. The last few years I’ve been grabbing books that I had as a child and lost. I think the one book that really changed me was Horrors: From Screen to Scream by Ed Naha. I got it when I was 6 it was an encyclopedia book of reviews from the silent era to the 70s, I think Let’s Scare Jessica To Death was the newest film in there. Love that James Bama cover of Frankenstein!

Cool, REH is the man. I just wish they’d made Kull look different from Conan. Like, a beard would have helped.

The variety of genres in which REH not only wrote but excelled at most of them. Dark fantasy was his passion allowing him to inject himself into the stories. King of the Pulps is a title Robert E. Howard earned and justly deserves. Thank again fo sharing your thoughts.

This was also covered in DC's Young All-Stars from the late 1980's. They featured Hugo's "son" Iron Munroe. This interested me enough to track down a hardcover copy from the 30's. Great book.
