Yep. There is a Tarzan book where he goes to the cener of the earth. The group gets aboard an airship and they sail over the North Pole and into some sort of vortex or somesuch and then drift down to the center of the earth where there is no north. Very strange book.
Did you read the hort story about the rancher lady in Arizona who was being bullied off her place by the evil baddie who was blowing things up. The lady boobytrapped a seguaro and it blew up and fell on the evil baddie thus ending the story. Some of that early stuff was really out there. Simple and to the point.

Forgot about Max Brand. Did you ever read ERB's John Carter of Mars series,
either as a book or as a comix?
Long live Tars Tarkas!!!!

> Zane Grey was a writer of some merit, he wrote dozens of books, Under the
Tonto Rim, Riders of the Purple Sage, etc. He was similar to a lot of
western writers, Max Brand, Louis LaMoore (sic), and so forth. I read most
of Zane Grey's stuff at UJH, the books were in the library along with all
those Tarzan books: Tarzan and the Golden Lion, Tarzan and the Jewells of
Opar, Tarzan and Donald Duck.
> Hopalong Cassidy was another series that comes to mind but I forget the
writer, short stories in pulp magazines of the era. Western Tales or some
such. Great illustrations, beautiful ine drawings by John Clymer and Charlie
Russell etc.
