Misreading of the text

[Wayne Johnson]

Forgot about Max Brand.  Did you ever read ERB's John Carter of Mars series,
either as a book or as a comix?

Long live Tars Tarkas!!!!

Rev. Barsoom

Ever read the complete Land That Time Forget?

> Zane Grey was a writer of some merit, he wrote dozens of books, Under the
Tonto Rim, Riders of the Purple Sage, etc. He was similar to a lot of
western writers, Max Brand, Louis LaMoore (sic), and so forth. I read most
of Zane Grey's stuff at UJH, the books were in the library along with all
those Tarzan books: Tarzan and the Golden Lion, Tarzan and the Jewells of
Opar, Tarzan and Donald Duck.
> Hopalong Cassidy was another series that comes to mind but I forget the
writer, short stories in pulp magazines of the era. Western Tales or some
such. Great illustrations, beautiful ine drawings by John Clymer and Charlie
Russell etc.
