So I picked up my first issue of the Burroughs Bulletin today, not realizing exactly what it was (The cover was plain white with lettering that said Tarzan in Pellucidar by Burne Hogarth and Dan Barry. The Burroughs Bulletin and the number 36 were very small and at the bottom center of the cover with a color that almost made it blend in with the white, so it wasn't until afte rI got it home I realized fully what it was (I wasn't sure if it was a portfolio or what, as it was sealed, but I had zero Hogarth Tarzan previously and it was priced right so I got it sight unseen.
Now I Am curious about the Bulletin. The GCD only has the barest skeletal info and only 2 cover scans (both of which have art unlike the issue I have, so I am curious if the copy I have is complete or missing a cover and what I saw was a title page. The back cover has strip reprints on it, with a continued on page 3, the third page of the stuff I have has the continuation, but sometimes zines counted covers in the page number count, so I can't tell form the page numbering if that is the cover or title page.
So does anyone know anything more about the bulletin or have someplace they can point me to get more info?

Yet another great thread - very nostalgic. IIRC, my first memory of Tarzan was probably the Marvel comic series from the late '70's - I was a little kid when this series was out, and have vague memories of paging through a couple of issues at the time. For what it's worth, this Marvel series is scheduled to be reprinted by Dynamite later this year - hopefully this will actually come out: edelweiss.abovethetreeline.com/ProductDetailPage.aspx?sequence=40&group=catalog&mailingID=0&mailingGroupID=0&catalogID=3980715&org=&sku=1524100641Later, still as a kid - I remember seeing & enjoying the feature film Greystoke (1984) in the theater; starring Christopher Lambert. This inspired me to read the original ERB Tarzan novel, and I was impressed at how closely (in some cases) the film mirrored the novel. This remains my favorite Tarzan film. I then read several more Tarzan ERB novels. I also went on to read some of the John Carter, Warlord of Mars novels - interesting stuff, but quite bizzare in many cases - especially considering these were written 100 years ago. I did enjoy the Disney film John Carter back in 2012, and felt it was a great adaptation of the original novel(s); the descriptions of the characters/creatures in the novels were methodically and accurately reproduced in this underrated & superb film. Too bad it didn't do better theatrically.

Belated Happy Birthday to ERB, born September 1, 1875. That birthdate of 1875 always reminds me that Burroughs was a 19th century as well as a 20th century man - a young man, 25 years old, before the turn of the century. I think this is reflected in his writing and is one of the keys to its charm - the swashbuckling adventurism that seemed to spill from his pen so effortlessly. Another key was I believe with his haphazard Classical education, also of course a vestige of the 19th century. The warring city states of Barsoom, his fascination with invented languages, Barsoomian indifference to nakedness, - I think all of these can be traced to his background in ancient Greco-Roman history, culture, languages, etc, which must have made a deep impression on him, from this POV.

His time as a cavalry soldier in Arizona and as a ranch hand in Idaho certainly shows in his westerns (and the opening chapters of A Princess of Mars ).

Yes, and beyond that, do you think Tars Tarkas and the nomadic Green Martians might have been at least partially inspired by whatever remnants of American Indian tribes Burroughs might have encountered or heard about in his youth?

I guess at this point I'd be remiss if I didn't point out the The Burroughs Gold Dredge operated about seven miles from my house. www.erbzine.com/mag36/3651.html

I just broke down and ordered the Filmation Tarzan series on DVD (along with Thundarr). -M So worth it if only for the memories watching this dvd brought back of Saturday mornings as a youth when there was so much to enjoy on Saturday television. What really stands out for me on re watching: that Filmation allowed the cartoon to breath as its very own type of show. Long segments without talking allowing the visuals and music to set tone and mood, long panoramic scans across painted jungle backdrops and Tarzan speaking minimally but emphasizing what he would say. Splendid writing and directing. This was an adult cartoon in many ways that perfectly captured a young child or teen's imagination. I am so very glad to have this in my collection to enjoy whenever i want!

Tarzan: The Buscema Years Omnibus Hardcover – December 20, 2016
by Roy Thomas (Author), David Anthony Kraft (Author), Bill Mantlo (Author), & 3 more
See all formats and editions
Hardcover
$61.32
Beginning in June 1977, the creative team of Roy Thomas and John Buscema astonished readers with perhaps the most spectacular escapades of Tarzan, Edgar Rice Burroughs' fabled Lord of the Jungle, ever captured on the four-color page! In the Mighty Marvel Manner, "Big John" delivered peril, romance, and heroics month-in and month-out, culminating in the ten-part "Blood Money and Human Bondage" saga, an epic that saw an artistic passing of the torch to his younger brother, Sal Buscema -- who would continue to visualize the feral hero's exploits until the series' thrilling final chapter in October 1979. Tarzan: The Buscema Years celebrates two of the greatest comic artists of all time, collecting in its entirety their classic 29-issue run of Tarzan (plus all three Tarzan Annuals), a massive tome bursting with mind-blowing thrills on every page!
and:
Tarzan on the Planet of the Apes Paperback – May 30, 2017
by Tim Seeley (Author), David Walker (Author), Fernando Dagnino (Illustrator), & 2 more
See all formats and editions
Paperback
$12.52
Caesar's birth in the original Planet of the Apes films was a result of the time travel at the core of that story. Tim Seeley (Revival) and David Walker (Power Man and Iron Fist) relocate that birth to 19th century Africa, where Caesar crosses paths with Tarzan, leading to a much different fate for Man and Ape.
Drawing deeply from the Tarzan novels and the Planet of the Apes films, Seeley and Walker run Caesar and the Lord of the Jungle through the enslavement of the Apes, through a century of war, and through the center of the earth.
