Look forward to checking this out Chris, thanks, once I've read Chessmen first that is. It's the one Mars book I've never read. Von -- you've saved one of the best for last, dude!

'It gives me a great deal of pleasure to hear from children and to know that they like my stories. An odd thing about my work is that my stories are written for adults and I have a very large adult following and that the only juvenile that I ever wrote, "The Tarzan Twins," is practically my only flop. Trying to find out why has taught me a lesson. I have it from no less an authority than the president of A.C. McClurg & Company, who has been publishing books for many years, that from fifteen years up children read and enjoy adult literature. I made my mistake in "The Tarzan Twins" by doing what is known as 'writing down' and succeeded only in reaching a mental level far below that of the young people I wished to appeal to.'
ERB, December 1927

I saw Mike's post on Facebook but had forgotten it -- so thanks for reminding me. Currently, it's available only for pre-order digitally (on Amazon). This is certainly a must for the completist once it comes out in a physical format. Earlier Cirsova issues are available in both digital and physical formats, so I see no reason this one should not be as well. Mike's a neat guy. I met him at the Dum Dum in Coldwater in 2017 where we talked, not only ERB where he was promoting his 100 Year Art Chronology, but had some fun, REH discussions. Mike is quite the collector, and has enough material to do a similar launching of a Robert E. Howard Art collection as he did for Burroughs. That would be an astounding, top-shelf, set to your REH collection, to be sure. I sure hope he gets around to doing it. Time will tell. Thanks, Paul!

ERB scholar/uberfan, Jess Terrell, has compiled a list of all the lost "cities" (he stretches the term a bit) that Tarzan visited: Lost cities from the original Tarzan Books and other authorized Tarzan books up to Wild Adventures. See disclaimer(s) at end of this list.
Tarzan and the Madman - City of Alemtejo in Ruturi Mountains; Founded by Portugese Christians; Castle city of Alemtejo at war with a Muslim village for 400 years.
City of Gold and Tarzan the Magnificent - Cathne and Athne in Valley of Kaffa; Nemone was Queen of Cathne; Cathne (city of Gold) used lions; Athne (city of Ivory) and used elephants
Tarzan and the Madman - Kaji and Zuli were rival tribes of Amazon Women;The Kaji had a 6000 carat diamond and the Zuli had an emerald to control people
Tarzan's Quest - Kavuru people with the immortality drug
Tarzan and the Leopard Men - Secret society that met in village of Chief Gato Mgungu
Tarzan and the Lost Empire - Rival Roman cities of Castra Sanguinarius and Castra Mare in the Wiramwazi Mountains
Tarzan Triumphant - The Midian people dwelt in the Ghenzi mountain range; The Midians were fanatical Christains divided into north and south.
Tarzan and the AntMen - Minuni home to 18 inch race of warriors; Two rival cities: Trohanadalmakus and Veltopismakus
Tarzan and the AntMen - Alali giant barbaric female warriors
Multiple visits to Opar - Opar with Queen La - found in Return of Tarzan; Tarzan and Jewells of Opar; Tarzan and Golden Lion; Tarzan and the Tarzan Twins (with Jad-Bal-Ja) ; Tarzan the Invincible.
Tarzan the Terrible - Land of Pal-UL-Don; The white Ho-Don and the Black Waz-Don also mixed Was-Ho-Don. The Ho-Don city of light was A-lur; Was-Ho-Don lived in Bu-lor
Tarzan at the Earth's Core - In Pellucidar Tarzan met the Horibs, snake people.
Tarzan and the Forbidden City - In the Tuen-Baka crater were two cities: Thobos and Ashair. Believed to be of Egyptian heritage.
Lost Adventure (Joe Lansdale) - City of Ur populated by blacks goes back to the time of King Solomon's Mines
Tarzan and the Castaways - On the island of Uxmal the city Cichen Itza founded by Mayans
Tarzan and the Lion Man - In the Valley of Diamonds was the English-speaking Gorilla city of London on the Thames River
Tarzan and the Golden Lion - in the Valley of the Palace of the Diamonds the intelligent Bolgana ruled the lesser intelligent Gomangani
Tarzan Lord of the Jungle - In the Valley of Sepulcher Knights from the Crusades established a lost city named Nimmr
Tarzan the Untamed - City of XUJA in Valley of Luna
Perhaps not a true "Lost City" but is Tarzan's first city. Have added Mbonga's cannibal village for completeness, From "Tarzan of the Apes", this was the first settlement of humans that Tarzan "visited". After Kala was killed, Tarzan tracked down her attacker, Kulonga who became the first human being that Tarzan encountered. Kulonga was killed by Tarzan in "grim retribution". From this Tarzan learned of the village where Kulonga's father, Mbonga, was chief. In his early years, Tarzan paid several visits to Mbonga's village to steal weapons and replenish his supply of arrows as well as to observe the daily life of a human village. Also developed his rejection of cannibalism. (From "Burroughs Dictionary" by McWhorter.)
Tarzan and Valley of Gold (Lieber) - The peaceful city of Tukamay is situated in a valley. Tukamay has a room filled with gold.
In Philip Jose Farmer's Tarzan and the Dark Heart of Time there is
1.) A Xuja reference, The City first visited in Tarzan the Untamed.
2.) The tree houses where the pygmy people lived.
3.) The "City Built by God".
This list does NOT include the Wild Adventures.
This list does NOT include works outside of canon e.g. Martian Legion or Cannibal King. List does not include printed comic books or Web Comics. List does not include movies or TV shows.

Jess Terrell, has compiled a list of all the lost "cities" (he stretches the term a bit) that Tarzan visited ... Agreed. I believe there to be a distinction between a lost race, and a lost city. "City" implies structures, IE the castles and turrets of Lord of the Jungle (one of my favorites!), the coliseum of Lost Empire. Still, it was neat to see all of it compiled. I'd just like to see a bit more granularity in the data.

Opar would have to be one of my favorites, because of La of course. Is there a similar list for REH...lost cities, empires, or even ruins? Seems someone is forever finding a ruin in a jungle, falling asleep beside it, and dreaming of its history. Makes me want to explore the Congo and the under the sands of the Sahara.

This new, uniform edition of ALL the Burroughs novels with Jusko covers is truly an historic event.

Had to order the Jusko-covered first set of four. Available 4 for the price of three at the moment, don't have any idea if that's a great deal or not.
