Review # 1 was written on 2020-12-13 00:00:00 Judson Spangler This is a very thoughtful and interesting look at Burroughs' works and serves as a good companion volume to Irwin Porges' exhaustive and definitive biography. Lupoff examines not only ERB's published works, but speculates on what his influences might have been, and the influences he had on later writers. My old Ace edition is nicely illustrated and features a wonderful Frazetta Tarzan cover. It's a great look at the work of a very influential author who's too often dismissed.

Review # 2 was written on 2007-11-02 00:00:00 jay stone An unparalleled summary of the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs that has no equivalent for any other genre author. Lupoff's commentaries are not only complete and well-written, but offer fascinating insights into ERB's mind and career. When paired with Irwin Porges' excellent ERB bio, the pair creates the most complete overview of ERB's life to date.
