Kline, Otis Adelbert: Jan In India. 15753
Fictioneer Books: Georgia. 1974.
First edition (& 1st printing).
Trade paperback original.
First published as three-part serial in Argosy Weekly magazine, commencing January 1935. Short three page introduction (and glossary) by David Anthony Kraft.
''most of his genre work is heroic fantasy, and is generally thought to have been written in competition with (and slavishly derived from) Edgar Rice Burroughs's Planetary Romances. Call of the Savage (1931 Argosy as ''Jan of the Jungle''; 1937; vt Jan of the Jungle 1966) and its sequel JAN IN INDIA (1935 Argosy; 1974) again ape Burroughs, the target this time being Tarzan. In his later years, the author's time was almost entirely taken up by his literary agency. Violently coloured, crudely racist and sniggeringly sexist, his tales represent pulp fiction at its worst, but they retain a raw compulsiveness. (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine (as new) copy with $5 price sticker on front cover.

Kline, Otis Adelbert: Prince Of Peril. 04022
Avalon Books: NY. 1962.
First edition thus (& 1st printing).
First published in 1930 (McClurg), this Avalon reprint (like most Avalon titles) is abridged.
''US songwriter, author and literary agent, active in music before beginning to write popular fiction in several genres, predominantly fantasy, in the early 1920s, most notably for Weird Tales and The Argosy. With the exception of marginal sf tales like ''The Bride of Osiris'' (1927) and space adventures such as ''Race Around the Moon'' (1939), most of his genre work is heroic fantasy, and is generally thought to have been written in competition with (and slavishly derived from) Edgar Rice Burrough's Planetary Romances. The Robert Grandon sequence is typical: comprising The Planet of Peril (1929), THE PRINCE OF PERIL (1930) and The Port of Peril (1932 Weird Tales as ''Buccaneers of Venus''; 1949), it carries the swashbuckling Grandon to Venus, where he rises from slavery to marry a princess; the later adventures expand upon this. Linked to this series through the character of Dr Morgan -- a scientist who makes interplanetary transfers easy -- are The Swordsman of Mars (1933 Argosy; 1960) and its sequel, The Outlaws of Mars (1933 Argosy; 1960). In Maza of the Moon (1930) the P'an-ku who rule the moon and bomb Earth after Earth bombs them. Call of the Savage (1931 Argosy as ''Jan of the Jungle''; 1937; vt Jan of the Jungle 1966) and its sequel Jan in India (1935 Argosy; 1974) again ape Burroughs, the target this time being Tarzan. In his later years, Kline's time was almost entirely taken up by his literary agency. Violently coloured, crudely racist and sniggeringly sexist, his tales represent pulp fiction at its worst, but they retain a raw compulsiveness'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF).
Fine copy in a fine dustjacket (as new) but for a touch of spine fade (dark brown to brown).
