Today marks the end of Dick Spargur's youth :-( He is officially a "Golden Buckeye" which is the Ohio epithet for those suffering from OAF (old and fat...
Dick: I don't know you, but as a fellow OAF and ERB enthusiast, I wish you a happy birthday. Just in case nobody told you, the next step is OFDAH: old, fat,...

I don't suppose that Sean Phillips would give us some hints as to where in the story _Jahlanna of Pellucidar_, the pics would/should go? It's a very long story...
I'm painting a model of a thoat and some green martians. (one mounted and three on foot.) These are from Bronze Age miniatures and quite nice although not...
ERB gives us no information about thoats' eyecolor. Other barsoomian animals are described as having yellow eyes though, so that might be your best bet. ... ...
Thoats have no bridal, being guided telepathically. No "thoatshoes," as they have no hooves. ISTR that they are adorned in "barbaric splendor," so bright...
This is a nice model, being quite large, although a bit pricey at 30$ each for one compatible with 28mm humans. It also needs some gap filling although the...
I'm drunk enough to say this (Memorial Day when I realize just how many of my Air Force budies that I served with are now dead) and will probably delete it...
We will make sure it does now. Check out my toy soldier blog, I am writing a story and illustrating it with toy soldiers. bunkermeister.blogspot.com Mike...
Thanks to everyone for their help. I will try to post figures when I'm finished although I paint slowly particularly with something like this. (I'm only...
Peter: You might find our series of Thark & Thoat illustrations starting at: http://www.erbzine.com/mag13/1390.html to be of some interest. Bill Hillman ...

Is anyone keeping up with the John Carter movie cast rumours? The latest is Samanatha Morton which would be an interesting choice. She's a great actress but...
Looking for ANY pictures on air ships or air craft from a Barsoomian view. I am planing on running an RPG based on the world of Barssom (its going to be pulpy...
Here's what's on the ERBzine news page: Michael Chabon: ( (pronounced “Shea as in Stadium, Bon as in Jovi”) “I’ve been hired to do some revisions to an...
There's a pretty good Frank Frazetta black and white illo showing some action from either "Gods" or "Warlord" on the deck of a flier. I'm not positive it's on...
I don't know that Burroughs ever describes the air ships in any kind of detail. My impression is that they seem to be sort of like long rafts or sledges,...

KAOR!!! My introduction to Barsoomian aircraft was on the covers of the early Ballantine and ACE paperbacks! That got my imagination going full throttle! Then...
I think the design ERB wanted for his airships was intended to be like a flying "boat" or "ship". If so, then the airships that are displayed on the cover...
