BOOMS
The popularity and mass distribution of paperback books . . . with a little help from a prudish, ill-formed California librarian contributed to an explosive "Burroughs Boom" in the early '60s.

The second boom was brought about by the widspread emergence of the Internet in the '90s.
This boom spawned online Groups/Listservs such as ERB-List, ERBCOF-list, Barsoom,

FILM
The ongoing ERB Films exhibit the most advanced technology of the day: colour, wide screen, exotic locations, Disney animation, released on 8mm, 16mm, 35mm, Video Disc, DVD, surround sound, YouTube, downloads from the Internet, Pay-Per-View, etc.
What was Burroughs' first novel 100 years ago is currently being produced as a mega-million dollar, 3D film production: JOHN CARTER. Previous attempts at this all failed because film technology hadn't yet caught up with ERB's imagination. Developments in filming techniques, equipment and projection, CGI, and 3D should make ERB's vision of a century ago finally come alive.
www.cartermovie.com A debt is owed to James Cameron who perfected 3D techniques for the top-grossing film of all time: AVATAR. The ERB legacy carries on since Cameron has often attributed his inspiration for this innovative blockbuster to be: Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Remarkably, this "pulp" author who first put pen to paper a century ago has created worlds and characters who have invaded every thread of the electronic matrix to survive and multiply and to capture the imagination of generations -- worldwide. Edgar Rice Burroughs was the first popular author to so totally take over the Electronic Matrix. Edgar Rice Burroughs, as truly the first Avatar, still lives.
