COVER
TEXT:
In his classic "biographies" of fictional characters (Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life),
Hugo- and Nebula-award winning author Philip José Farmer
introduced the Wold Newton family, a collection of heroes and villains
whose family-tree includes Sherlock Holmes, Fu Manchu, Philip Marlowe,
and James Bond. In books, stories, and essays he expanded the concept
even further, adding more branches to the Wold Newton family-tree. Myths for the Modern Age: Philip
José Farmer's Wold Newton Universe collects for
the first time those rarely-seen essays. Expanding the family even
farther are contributions from Farmer's successors—scholars,
writers,
and pop-culture historians—who bring even more fictional
characters
into the fold. |
