Argosy All-Story Weekly Super Pack

by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Overview

Argosy is considered the very first pulp fiction magazine. It was launched in 1882 as a children's magazine, but quickly changed its target audience as it realized children were not in charge of their reading money and could not be counted on to renew subscriptions. Argosy started publishing science fiction and fantasy almost immediately upon making this change. One cannot overstate Argosy's place in the history of science fiction. Without this reliable outlet many giants of the field.

Included in this Omnibus editions are:

The Fire People by Ray Cummings

The Mad Planet by Murray Leinster

The Outlaws of Mars by Otis Adelbert Kline

The Runaway Skyscraper by Murray Leinster

Under the Moons of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

About the Author

Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) had various jobs before getting his first fiction published at the age of 37. He established himself with wildly imaginative, swashbuckling romances about Tarzan of the Apes, John Carter of Mars and other heroes, all at large in exotic environments of perpetual adventure. Tarzan was particularly successful, appearing in silent film as early as 1918 and making the author famous. Burroughs wrote science fiction, westerns and historical adventure, all charged with his propulsive prose and often startling inventiveness. Although he claimed he sought only to provide entertainment, his work has been credited as inspirational by many authors and scientists.
