Howard, through the Lancer editions, for a few years. Friel is one writer I remember very fondly. So, what do you think? Would the Uber Autograph Hound Brian Leno have a John Hancock from Friel to round out his Two-Gun Bob Adventure Trilogy, or not? “I have Friel’s Adventure novels in hardcover first editions with dust jackets,” Kevin notes, “but I have never seen a signed copy of any of them offered for sale must be a tough autograph to obtain.” Friel autograph? He would be the third Adventure favorite of Howard’s along with Harold Lamb and Talbot Mundy. I got in a note from frequent Hound Dog Kevin Cook, commenting on Brian Leno posts from a couple of weekends ago. “More great posts on the authors whom Robert E.

Warner Munn autographs, it’ll mostly be up to me. The editorial tampering put a real ding in the value of his line.Īnd I guess if we ever get around to doing H. Howard - essentially, he Politically Corrected them. Kevin and I have had numerous discussions of how Don Grant also botched his various editions of Robert E. “Grant also allowed me to read The Werewolf of Ponkert with the Centaur Press paperback years before I bought a copy of the hardcover, my only signed H. Charles Vivian which sparked one of the largest collecting interests of my life. Plus, of course, I owe another offer of thanks for City of Wonder by E. “Thanks to Grant for introducing us to authors like Friel and J. And yes, of course Adventure was his favorite pulp.

He helped me break into the Adventure authors, so I’m grateful.” Both instances were corrected in book form.)”Īnd Brian replies: “Yep, I know about Grant and his heavy hand at editing, but he was always nice to me through the mail. “(Everyone also knows that Burroughs had tigers in Africa in the magazine version of ‘Tarzan of the Apes.’ He also made the same error in ‘The Return of Tarzan’ - but few people have ever seen the magazine version serialized in seven parts in New Story Magazine.
