Writer Jeff Long and artist Chris Wright probe the fantastic worlds of the man who created John Carter of Mars and Tarzan of the Apes - from the perspective of that ancient tabloid newspaper, The Barsoomian Blade. With a dash of The Onion, and in the tradition of Tarzan Alive by Philip Jose Farmer, "Covering the Worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs" mixes analysis with a fair amount of absurdity. That kind of scholarship can only come from a life-long love of the works penned by the Master of Adventure. Long and Wright dive headfirst into a universe where princesses are incomparably beautiful, villains are unquestionably evil, and heroes are indisputably noble. The reporters and editors in that reality are ...well ...like reporters and editors everywhere - constantly chasing a roaring good story. And Burroughs provided dozens, in far-flung locales ranging from the Red Planet, to the jungles of Africa and the core of the Earth.
