Edgar Rice Burroughs News Dateline

A single-issue promotional comic from 1979, Edgar Rice Burroughs News Dateline was a curious hybrid of news digest and comic strip, produced by Michael Conran to spotlight the author's literary empire. Featuring material from Edgar Rice Burroughs himself alongside writer Nicola Cuti, and illustrated by The Redondo Studio, this one-shot served as a charming, self-contained advertisement for Burroughs's iconic characters and worlds. Its value lies in its unique format—a snapshot of how a beloved pulp universe was marketed to fans at the dawn of the 1980s.
