I'm not an ERB expert, but I think he actually wrote "Skeleton Men." It was only "Giant" that was written in part by his son. It's been years since I've read them, but, as I recall, "Skeleton Men" read just the other books.

Right. ERB did write Skeleton Men from Jupiter. only two 'chapters' of the story were ever published though. Burroughs never did finish it.

now this will begin my list for reading conan I am going to start with the three omnibus's which came out in 2003 - 2005 and I believe they have all the robert e howard conan novels:

timothy, have you seen the Solomon Kane film that came out a year or so ago? if not, its worth checking out.

[Mysterion]

Tarzan fans might want to add Tarzan Alive by Philip Jose Farmer* to thie reading list. It approaches the character of Tarzan as if he was an actual person and the novels were fictionalized accounts of his life. Pretty interesting stuff.

(*Farmer also gave the character of Doc Savage the same treatment.)

no I totally missed it. all so I have to read solomon kane as well so I really don't know the character that well. is it out on blu ray or dvd yet?

[Mike Farley]

The movie has yet to get a US release (outside of some festival screenings).

[Praetor_Shinzon]

yeah, the movie hasn't had an official US release. its out there and easy to find on the web though.

[JD]

Just checked out the trailer for the movie, and it is a shame it never came out in the US, it looks pretty cool. Why hasn't it been picked up for a US release, it looks to me like the kind of thing that would make a great summer movie.

[timothy]

I found the trailer I am looking forward to reading the books or book on solomon kane.
I don't know how to do the links but if someone can do a link to trailer or clips from the books and movies of these three authors that would be fantastic.

as a kid i was fascinated by the artwork on the cover, its what got me interested in ERB and REH in the first place. i have most of the Conan/Frazetta stuff and a lot of the ERB/Frazetta stuff. i only have reading copies of a few books though.

[timothy]

Now I bought a conan book the a week back have yet to start cause I am not sure which stories are in it.

conan the cimmerian: The complete tales (trilogus classics)

now I was wondering if any one has read this and they knew what stories are in it.
