There was a time in the sixties and seventies when Edgar Rice Burroughs fandom parallelled comics and sci-fi fandom. This led to some classic ‘zines such as ERB-DOM, a retrospective of which can be found here today with art by Crandall, Williamson, Frazetta, Krenkel and a silly John Carter of Mars parody by the artist formerly known as Jeff Jones.

G-8 AND HIS BATTLE ACES was a now-classic pulp series of the 1930′s. In 1966, Gold Key published a single issue with art by Mike Roy and George Evans that sadly seemed so out of place in the swingin’ sixties but reads quite nicely today.

Another war story today is DC’s UNKNOWN SOLDIER from the 1970′s in an intense Bob Haney tale drawn by one of my favorites, Doug Wildey, best known for his westerns and for his work in creating TV’s JONNY QUEST.
