In the February 1943 issue of Amazing Stories, "Skeleton Men of Jupiter" appeared, the first part of a 4-part novel. Unfortunately, due to World War II and the failing health of ERB, the remaining 3 stories were not written.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875 - 1950) was an American writer best known for his creations of the jungle hero Tarzan and the heroic Mars adventurer John Carter, although he produced works in many genres. Burroughs was in his late 60s and was in Honolulu at the time of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite his age, he applied for and received permission to become a war correspondent, becoming one of the oldest U.S. war correspondents during World War II. This period of his life is mentioned in William Brinkley's bestselling novel Don't Go Near the Water.
