 A new magazine spotlighting the work of The Master of Adventure has entered the print arena: Reverberate: A Magazine of Edgar Rice Burroughs is a 48-page magazine printed on high-quality, glossy pages, perfect-bound with cardstock covers. 

“We want to explore Edgar Rice Burroughs’ work, life, and legacy, and its impact in media including art, comics, film, television, stage, radio, periodicals, and, of course, his original novels,” explains Reverberate editor Scott Tracy Griffin. “The Burroughs community isn’t wholly served in the periodicals medium and we believe the time ideal to deliver a new outlook.”

Reverberate enjoyed a successful launch at the May 2025 NCM VII Gathering of literary devotees and fans in Roseville, California. The debut issue showcases acclaimed artist Benito Gallego, whose lush portfolio boasts the comic-strip adventures of Tarzan and The Outlaw of Torn; profiles fireman-turned-silent-film-actor Gene Pollar, who starred as the iconic ape man in The Revenge of Tarzan (1920); and investigates the early African explorers whose feats influenced Burroughs’ writing.

The magazine also delves into the books of author Gary A. Buckingham, who helmed three Tarzan projects, with his fourth in development. Notes Buckingham, “Burroughs created worlds of wonder, in which I’ve been fortunate to immerse my tales of his savage ape man.”

The first 100 issues are numbered and signed by both writers, and feature interior illustrations by artist Dan Parsons.
