Edgar Rice Burroughs Art History Retrospective

Little Rock, AR, June 5, 2017 (Newswire.com) - Michael Tierney’s massive 4-volume retrospective, Edgar Rice Burroughs’ 100 Year Art Chronology is a multi-volume collection that captures the vast illustrative history of Edgar Rice Burroughs. As an art history of Burroughs’ publications in the pulps, comics and books, it shines light on an extraordinary body of work.

Little Rock, Arkansas-based Chenault & Gray Publishing and ERB, Inc. are working together with author Michael Tierney to bring this project to life. To that end, a Kickstarter campaign was launched late last month. With over 20 days remaining, the project has funded and grown far beyond its original goal.

"One of the fun aspects of working on the ERB Art Chronology was discovering things that I never knew before, like how the artist for the 1st hardcover edition of Tanar of Pellucidar, Paul F. Berdanier, was also an artist for many of the never before reprinted Tarzan covers for Tip Top Comics."

Two years in the making, the project includes close to 1,200 pages of content in four volumes. With over 5,000 images and 140,000 words, it is a comprehensive treatment of a massive body of work. It includes many rare pieces of art from publications in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

The Kickstarter, though funded, offers a wide variety of stretch rewards. You can view the site with the following link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/600766964/edgar-rice-burroughs-100-year-art-chronology?ref=3lhsak or go to Kickstarter and search the key words: Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Though best known as the creator of Tarzan, Burroughs was the author of a host of characters and worlds. These works spanned a wide variety of publishing mediums from the pulps to books, from comics to strips. It all left a deep and abiding impression on popular culture.
