FRIDAY MORNING AT ERB, INC. TARZANA
PREPARING FOR THE AFTERNOON ECOF TOUR

In preparation for the afternoon invasion of ERB fans attending the 2002 Tarzana ECOF convention,
Danton Burroughs unearths a treasure trove of rare, seldom-seen ERB-related memorabilia.
Seen below is the ornate John Carter sword carved by Danton's father, John Coleman Burroughs.
JCB had used this sword as a model for the many book and comic strip illustrations
he had made of the Warlord of Mars.
Danton also unearthed another intriguing hand-carved model -
a fully positional, many-limbed Barsoomian thoat.

Bill Hillman explores the mysteries of ERB's famous carved desk and
presents Danton with a print of JCB watercolour of Danton's brother John.

the thousands of clippings in ERB's rare personal scrapbooks.
