THIS WEEK'S ERBzine CONTENTS

FEATURE 1: ERBzine 1514
Radio Free Venus
A 12,000-word article
by
Den Valdron
Ralph Milne Farley's Radio Series
Before Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote his Venus books, before Otis Adelbert Kline published his Venus series, there was one major pulp writer who wrote a series of Barsoomian adventures set on the planet Venus. This series was a deliberate homage to Burroughs Martian books, and its author was actually a close friend of Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The man was Ralph Milne Farley, and the series was the Radio Man books.

FEATURE 7 Archive: ERBzine 0940
ERB: My Famous Father-ln-Law
By James Pierce "He had no religious affiliation, and none of the family ever attended church to my knowledge. Mr. Burroughs was an agnostic, I believe, and unlike W. C. Fields, did not turn to the Bible toward the end of his life. A friend asked him, "What are you doing with the Bible, Ed?" "Looking for a loophole," was his reply. He did not believe in funerals. He requested no services and cremation. His wishes were granted. He requested his ashes rest beneath his favorite, very old oak tree, location of which is known only to his family." http://www.erbzine.com/mag9/0940.html
