BangZoom Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 I was planning on showing my copy of All-Story which featured the first appearance of the "Warlord of Mars" story but I can't find it. So instead, here are the covers to some lesser known Burroughs stories. All-Story Weekly (October 24, 1914) - "The Mucker" All-Story Weekly (August 7, 1915) - "Barney Custer of Beatrice" All-Story Weekly (March 31, 1917) - "The Cave Man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theagenes Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Wow, that is cool. I hope you find the WoM issue - I'd love to see it. All I've ever seen is the thumbnail at ERBzine. I'm off for more adventure tomorrow - three weeks at Mammoth Cave. Hope I find some internets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comics-n-ERB Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Oh wow, never have seen the Cave Man!!! Super! Jeff, have a great time at Mammoth Cave! I love it! I'm sure doing what you do you know about the Indian that was crushed by a bolder in the cave. They had him on display for a long time ( I saw him when I was young) then they finally buried him deep in the cave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman_Comics Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Congratulations on your purchase, Jeff. You had a much more memorable few days than I did. My highlight was going to a used book store where I bought a videotape of The Iron Giant for 75 cents. The experience may have been less than sublime, but don't you be dissin' one of the most delightful animated films of the last 20 years. And Jeff - I wish I had those sort of stores anywhere near me.

BangZoom Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I've always been curious about the airplane Fred Guardineer drew on the cover of Action Comics #18. Now I can stop wondering. It's a Keystone B-3 Panther. The photograph Guardineer used for reference is a U.S. Army Corp photo taken at March Field, California in 1932. Details about the 9th Bomb Squadron can be found here: Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Scrooge posted a comic with a drawing of a German bomber that I could never identify. And another fighter (the Reliant pictured below) which I didn't think was a real WWII aircraft but it was actually fairly well known for its role in the Battle of Britain (and pictured in Wings 2).

I think Scrooge posted a comic with a drawing of a German bomber that I could never identify. I think that German bomber was on a pulp but I seem to recall your being stumped. While cool we were able to track down the plane that inspired the cover, it's actually kinda sad b/c I was amazed at the ability of Guardineer to design this cool ship ... and now, I know it was cribbed from a pic On a related aviation note, anyone else read the fantastic article about Frederick Blaskelee and his actual involvement with early aviation at the Hammond Curtiss company in Illustration 22? I might have mentioned it before but can't recall for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
