THE ERB / SALT LAKE CITY CONNECTION
Edgar Rice Burroughs Online Bio Timeline
www.ERBzine.com/bio
1904: April: The gold dredging company fails and Harry gets Ed a job
as railroad policeman for the Oregon Short Line Railroad Company at Salt Lake City.
He is armed with a Colt six-gun, serial number 70495.
To help pay the bills they take in boarders:
Ed has a card printed up with a photo of the two of them
on one side with information on the other side:
"Newly Furnished Rooms for Single Men.
In New Brick House, Electric Lights, Porcelain Bath. Rates:
$10.00 Per Month for One. $12.00 Per Month for Two.
111 North Fifth West Street. Cor. North Temple, One Block From O.S.L. Yards. Salt Lake City."

1904: October 14: Ed resigns, with good references, from the railroad company.
He and Emma then auction off their furniture for train fare to Chicago.
Since his parents have moved into a smaller rental house on Jackson Boulevard, he and Emma move in with Emma's family at 194 Park Avenue.

I believe this photo is from circa 1965, with founding pharmacist Harry Chariton standing out front.

Those days when armies of terror like ISIS at Syria and Boko Haram at Nigeria murdered thousands
I remember a Tarzan comics story by /Dick Van Buren and Celrado: TARZAN AND THE MONGOL TERROR
In this story Tarzan fights a present day Mongol conqueror who terrorizes and conquers African tribes and forces them to join his army.
Like today armies of terror.
That story is actually a quite good prediction of events today.:
Here the Hebrew cover of the story from the 70s
The prophetic story itself is here:

Himmelskibet / A trip to Mars
A 1918 silent Danish SciFi film


This very early SF film is quite well made with very impressive sets and costumes.
Upon arrival to Mars, the crew go to the trouble of putting on "space suits" to go outside the ship
but only wear them for about two seconds when they discover "air" on Mars.

Slave in the City of Dragons
(Dinosaurs and Gladiators Book 1)
[Amazon Kindle Edition: $4.95]
Angela Angelwolf

Savagery, Lust and Adventure at Time's Abyss: Beautiful Pashera sets off on a quest to kill a fabled beast and thus raise her status in her primitive tribe.
But she's captured by a warrior, Tol'zen ... a warrior who's not quite human.
He's a descendant of dinosaurs, and she becomes first his slave, then his lover in an ancient city.
It's a lost civilization of magic, mystery and unimaginable sin dating back countless millennia.
But past glory has curdled to rot, and the city is sliding into decadence and depravity.
Tol'zen fights for the soul of his people,
while Pashera finds herself fighting in the arena against fierce women, worse men and monsters straight out of hell.
It's an era of brutal violence, raw sex, wonders and horrors.
Brave and resourceful, Pashera risks everything to find freedom and true love at the dawn of time.
Will she succeed … or will she end up another nameless and bloody stain on the sand? 489 pages

Tarzan
PLANET OF THE APE-MAN
Empire, Issue #279, September 2012
Owen Williams Blog ~ Posted on 27/08/2014

This is a feature I wrote for Empire a couple of years ago, for the centenary of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan of the Apes.
It begins with a visit to the set of the CG animated Tarzan starring Kellan Lutz, which was finally released earlier this year,
and then continues as a history of the character (mostly on screen) from his inception to the present day.
The final paragraphs mention a big developing Tarzan project at Warner Bros.
That film is now in production, with Alexander Skarsgård as Tarzan, a screenplay by Adam Cozad, and David Yates directing.
