YOU'VE been calling on us for it and here it is-a sequel to Burroughs's smashing cave-man romance, "At the Earth's Core", which made such a hit when it came out in the All-Story Weekly just before the amalgamation.

YOU'VE been calling on us for it and here it is-a sequel to Burroughs's smashing cave-man romance, "At the Earth's Core", which made such a hit when it came out in the All-Story Weekly just before the amalgamation. The same cast-David lnnes, the two-fisted hero; Professor Perry, his scientist companion who invented the wonderful Iron Mole; Dian the Beautiful One, belle of the cave-women; Hooja the Sly One, the traitorous outlaw; the Mahar folk, those weird reasoning reptiles; and their gorillalike soldiery, the Sagoths. The same setting-Pellucidar, another world, five hundred miles beneath this earth's surface. The same author, Edgar Rice Burroughs, author of more sensational novels than any writer whose work appears in this magazine. The same life, the same thrills, the same action-go-dash. The same-only more so.

Autorenporträt
Edgar Rice Burroughs (September 1, 1875 - March 19, 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. Aiming his work at the pulps, Burroughs had his first story, Under the Moons of Mars, serialized in The All-Story in 1912 - under the name "Norman Bean" to protect his reputation. Under the Moons of Mars inaugurated the Barsoom series and earned Burroughs $400. It was first published as a book in 1917, entitled A Princess of Mars, after three Barsoom sequels had appeared as serials and McClurg had published the first four serial Tarzan novels as books. Burroughs soon took up writing full-time, and by the time the run of Under the Moons of Mars had finished he had completed two novels, including Tarzan of the Apes. Burroughs also wrote popular science fiction and fantasy stories involving adventurers from Earth transported to various planets (notably Barsoom, Burroughs's fictional name for Mars), lost islands, and into the interior of the hollow earth in his Pellucidar stories. He also wrote westerns and historical romances. Tarzan was a cultural sensation when introduced. Burroughs was determined to capitalize on Tarzan's popularity in every way possible. He planned to exploit Tarzan through several different media including a syndicated Tarzan comic strip, movies and merchandise. Experts in the field advised against this course of action, stating that the different media would just end up competing against each other. Burroughs went ahead, however, and proved the experts wrong - the public wanted Tarzan in whatever fashion he was offered.
