Let's just say it never gets into my personal recommendations. Although Lensman and Barsoom are more of my cup of tea for pre 60s scifi.
I love 40s and 50s sci fi. I have some John Carter books. I’m told that Disney really did a terrible job. Heinlein was a big fan of the Barsoom stories and made reference to it in Number of the Beast. I’ll check out Lensman
I've always loved to story behind how Edgar Rice Burroughs got into writing fantasy novels. Apparently Burroughs had always been a bit of a "failure' in life, moving from on career to the next without much success. In his late thirties he decided, after reading fiction magazines, that folks were getting paid to write "such rot," and he could do better even if he had never written before. Turns out he was right.
That is true lol
Did you read Conan?
Yes. A couple of months ago I read the Complete Howard Conan stories and I have read the old marvel comics forever. Heard there have been some newer stories that are good
