Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan of the Apes. Cover and interior illustrations by Sal Amendola
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was an American writer, soldier, cowboy, and pencil sharpener salesman. He is best known for his Tarzan and John Carter of Mars series. However, Burroughs wrote almost 100 novels before he died of a heart attack. He is buried in the town of Tarzana, which was named after his ranch just north of Los Angeles.
