G-547 AUSTIN HALL and HOMER EON FLINT The Blind Spot (cover by Jack Gaughan; 1965)

Austin Hall (1883-1933) wrote mainly in the Western genre. His science fiction writings were mainly in pulps (Argosy, All-Story Weekly, and Weird Tales) and his most recognized (or berated) work is collaboration with Homer Eon Flint in "The Blind Spot" (serialized in Argosy, later published separately in 1951). He wrote an independent sequel "The Spot of Life" (serialized in Argosy, later published separately in 1964).

Homer Eon Flint (188? - 1924) is remembered for "The Blind Spot." His short career provided many stories to the pulps (Argosy and All-Story Weekly) during the early 1920's and the posthumous novels (ACE editions are from 1965 - 1966) were derived from stories originating in those magazines.

NOTE: An ACE image library user indicates they have a copy of G-735 listed as TANAR OF PELLUCIDAR - anyone else with a copy similar to this? If so, I would appreciate a scan of the front and back cover and any copyright information. THANKS!

Another ACE image library user (thank you Joe) has responded to this query. It appears that Burroughs never wrote a "Tarzan of Pellucidar" title, the correct listing should be for "Tanar of Pellucidar." If someone has a copy, I would appreciate an image to correlate. Thank you. A-HA - here it is (thanks).
