Trivia
  • *This issue's cover is design after the October, 1912 issue of All-Story Magazine, which contained the first printing of Tarzan of the Apes. *The opening story of Elijah Snow moving up river is reminiscent of the river trip in Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. This is emphasized with a steam-powered vessel, a crewman lost due to an attack from the shore, the theme of a man gone native, and a journal serving as part of the audience's window into the situation. *Elijah Snow mentions the Cummings Scientific Club, which is a reference to American science-fiction author and early innovator in the genre Ray Cummings . "Scientific Club" was the name of a series Cummings authored. *Opak-Re is based on the fictional city Opar featured prominently in the Tarzan novels. Unlike Opak-Re, Opar is its exact opposite. Whereas Opak-Re is incredibly advanced spiritually, culturally, and technologically, Opar was a fallen utopian city and the populace was reduced to a mostly-savage band of sun-worshippers who practice human sacrifice.
