Come to this year’s ERBFest to learn all of the latest news and ideas coming from the fertile minds at Edgar Rice Burroughs, Incorporated.
Join Vice President of Publishing Christopher Paul Carey and Vice President of Operations Cathy Mann Wilbanks, live from the stage at PulpFest 2025, for the latest updates from Tarzana. Joining Chris and Cathy in Barsoom, Pennsylvania, will be Chris L Adams, the author of Gauntlets of Mars, and Win Scott Eckert, author of Pellucidar: Land of Awful Shadow, the forthcoming sequel to Korak at the Earth’s Core.
From its headquarters in Tarzana, California, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., administers the intellectual property of American author Edgar Rice Burroughs, one of the twentieth century’s most prolific and enduring writers. Burroughs’ 80+ novels and 40+ short stories have been adapted into sixty films and 250 television episodes, and have been featured in comic books, video games, apparel, and other merchandise.
Please join PulpFest 2025 at 2:30 pm on Friday, August 8, as we welcome Cathy, Christopher, and their guests to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania for the latest updates on the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe, the ERB Authorized Library, and other projects inspired by the great man’s work, including exciting updates about John Carter of Mars: The Audio Series, forthcoming from Pocket Universe Productions.
The ERB, Inc. team will also be exploring some of their recent and upcoming book releases. These include the next two volumes in the original Barsoom saga by ERB, with cover art by Joe Jusko; Mike Wolfer’s The Land That Time Forgot: Fearless graphic novel and The Land That Time Forgot: Fortress Primeval; and the new edition of The Monster Men and its chilling sequel, The Return of the Monster Men, written by Scribe Award-winning author Josh Reynolds.
Chris and Cathy will also talk about the Edgar Rice Burroughs Universe animated TV series now in development with Flying S Films LLC, a Seattle-based studio dedicated to producing unique feature films and episodic properties for a worldwide audience. They’ll also have some great door prizes. But remember, you need to be in attendance at their presentation to win! Many thanks to Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc., for their generous donations.
Our “The Universe According to Edgar Rice Burroughs” panel presentation is all part of ERBFest 2025, our fourth salute to the Master of Adventure, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Co-hosted by Henry G. Franke III — the editor of The Burroughs Bibliophiles — ERBFest was started in 2021 when it seemed as if a second summer was going to pass without both of the usual Burroughs conventions — The Edgar Rice Burroughs Convention (formerly known as the Dum-Dum) and the Edgar Rice Burroughs Chain of Friendship (ECOF) gathering.
PulpFest 2025 begins on August 7 and runs through August 10 at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania. We’ll be celebrating the “Masters of Blood and Thunder,” the “Great Pulp Villains,” Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze, and more at this year’s convention.
The general public is welcome to attend our afternoon programming events free of charge. To learn more about our programming, please click the 2025 Schedule button at the top of this page.
