Representative John Carter, Warlord of Mars
The All-Story Magazine was a pulp magazine founded in 1905 and published by Frank Munsey. It was published monthly until March 1914, and then switched to a weekly schedule. Munsey merged it with The Cavalier, another of his pulp magazines, in May 1914, and the title changed to All-Story Cavalier Weekly for a year. In 1920 it was merged with Munsey’s Argosy; the combined magazine was retitled Argosy All-Story Weekly. Many well-known writers appeared in All-Story, including the mystery writer Mary Roberts Rinehart and the Western writer Max Brand. The most famous contributor to the magazine was Edgar Rice Burroughs, whose first sale, Under the Moons of Mars, appeared in All-Story in 1912. This was the start of his Barsoom science fiction series set on Mars; the next three novels in the series also appeared in All-Story. In 1912 All-Story printed Burroughs’s Tarzan of the Apes, and more stories of Tarzan followed, along with two installments of another of Burroughs’s series, about Pellucidar, a land inside the Earth. The first appearance of Zorro, the vigilante, was in All-Story in 1919, in Johnston McCulley’s novel The Curse of Capistrano. Many other science fiction and fantasy stories appeared over the life of the magazine. Starting in 1939 some of the stories from All-Story were included in Famous Fantastic Mysteries and Fantastic Novels, both of which were created as vehicles for reprints from the Munsey magazines. ~ The All-Story Magazine – Wikipedia
