Quote:
In his classic ?biographies? of fictional characters (Tarzan Alive and Doc Savage: His Apocalyptic Life), Hugo- and Nebula-award winning author Philip Jos? 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 JOS? 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.
