'''''ERB-dom''''' was a magazine devoted to the works of [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] created by Al Guillory, Jr. and [[Camille Cazedessus Jr.]] ("Caz"). It began publication in May 1960 as a [[mimeograph]]ed [[science fiction|science-fiction]] [[fanzine]].<ref name="Pulpdom1">[http://pulpdom.com "About Pulpdom" at the official ''Pulpdom'' website]</ref>

Guillory was killed in a car-train collision, but Cazedessus continued publishing ''ERB-dom''. It won the [[Hugo Award]] for [[Hugo Award for Best Fanzine|Best Fanzine]] in 1966.<ref>[http://www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/1966-hugo-awards/ "1966 Hugo Awards" - listing at the official Hugo Awards website]</ref>

ERB-dom was eventually printed in color, containing [[Russ Manning]]'s ''[[Tarzan in comics#Comic strips|Tarzan]]'' newspaper [[comic strip]] pages in color and the daily strips. It went to monthly publication in 1970 and then back to five times per year. It ceased publication with issue #89 in late 1976.<ref name="Pulpdom1"/>  However a special issue #90 was released in June 1978.

==Successor titles==
Cazedessus renewed his publishing efforts with ''The Fantasy Collector'' (later ''The Fantastic Collector'') in December 1988. ''The Fantasy Collector'' had been an ad-zine, running only ads.  This new ''The Fantasy Collector'', starting with #201, reprinted fiction.  It was renamed ''The Fantastic Collector'' with #227.

He soon re-incorporated ''ERB-dom''-type articles into the magazine, which was tending more towards [[pulp magazine|pulp fiction]] in general (not just [[fantasy]]).  With #248 it was double named/numbered with ''ERB-dom'' #90.  This continued until ''Fantastic Collector'' #262/''ERB-dom'' #104.

The title was changed to ''Pulpdom, Son of ERB-dom'' by Cazedessus in 1997. It continued under that name featuring articles and illustrations on almost all the pulp authors, from [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]] to [[H. Bedford-Jones]], et al. It "concentrates on the pre-1932 pulps, obscure authors of the 'fantastic,' and particularly ''[[Argosy (magazine)|Argosy]]'', ''[[Argosy (magazine)|All-Story]]'' and the early ''[[Blue Book (magazine)|Blue Book]]''."<ref name="Pulpdom1"/>  It would end with #100 in October 2020.
