After painstaking work, the folks at
Paizo Publishing have succeeded in resurrecting from the literary graveyard the original, unabridged version of
The Outlaws of Mars, a classic sword-and-planet tale by
Otis Adelbert Kline that was first published as a seven-part serial in
Argosy magazine in 1933 and 1934. According to James Sutter, the editor of Paizo's
Planet Stories series, Kline's novel has “sword-swinging adventure on other worlds with strange creatures, bizarre cultures, scantily-clad princesses, and two-fisted plot advancement on every page.” Paizo's reprint of
The Outlaws of Mars goes on sale next month, February 2009.
Meanwhile, check out this cool
tattered cover of the November 25, 1933, issue of
Argosy magazine, pictured above.

don't forget about the sequel Swordsman...
If you'd like a scan - no prob.
Great site - look for your review over on mine
Thanks for the kind words. I read the Paizo reprint of The Swordsman of Mars and really enjoyed it. Can hardly wait the Brackett reprint that's coming down the canal!
