Zanthar of the Many Worlds

1967

ELSEWHERE! Professor John Zanthar, brilliant electronics specialist, walked around the advanced, compact cyclotron he had designed . . . and vanished. Some strange, subatomic energy vortex lifted him, twisted him, and seemed to translate him . . . into another world. Zanthar found himself on the strange planet Letar, where all his knowledge of science availed him not at all against the alien foes and forces he had to battle. For he landed in the middle of an all-out, primitive war - and he had to choose sides immediately and fight back strenuously . . . for his own life and those of his new allies, with the only weapons his naked hands could muster. Zanthar was a fighting man as well as a scientist. He knew no fear, and he knew he could win out over anything he could see and feel. But then he was followed from Earth by the sinister Fu Cong, and he began to learn what real war was . . .

Zanthar at the Edge of Never

1968

MAROONED IN TIME. The monsters had millions of eyes and were utterly deadly. They were wreaking havoc all over Earth, and nothing could stop them. The one man who might be able to build a workable weapon of defense was Professor John Zanthar—and he was gone, lost millions of years in the past, with no way of returning to the present. Then a strange being came to Zanthar's rescue—a tall man in a white robe who called himself the Librarian, and who kept the weird globe containing the 'Womb of Time'. But it was a double-edged rescue—for it brought Zanthar to another confrontation with the sinister Fu Cong. And while his battle might save the Earth, it almost certainly meant death for Zanthar himself!

Zanthar at Moon's Madness

1968

Doors to infinity. The little glass spheres looked as innocent as children's marbles. But they were the keys that unlocked another world—a world that threatened life as we know it on Earth and could ultimately destroy the universe itself. And the vanishing of a kid gang was the first step... Professor John Zanthar wasn't on Earth at the beginning. He was exploring the moon with a small group of Space Marines. And he found an impossible city—a city ancient beyond the dreams of man, living on where no city could possibly exist. A city ruled by mutant women who hated all men and wanted to destroy them! He found, too, that the city had already been invaded by his old enemy Fu Cong, who sought control of the mutant powers to further his own dreams of conquest. And once again, Zanthar went bravely into battle—against forces even he, with his fantastic scientific knowledge, could barely understand!

Zanthar at Trip's End

1969

The strange and evil nightwind began in Los Angeles, touching lonely dog-walkers and lovers on park benches. It did not kill them, for death would have been a mercy. Instead, it tore their minds and souls from their collapsing bodies and deposited them on an impossible plateau beyond infinity—where weird hog-beast guardians imprisoned them in shrieking agony...and then the wind blew on... Professor John Zanthar was at work in his laboratory when it happened. He knew that his old enemy Fu Cong, to further his dreams of conquest, had created the wind through his evil manipulations of electronic discovery. And once more Zanthar journeyed into the terrifying unknown—his mission, to pierce the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds and confront the Master in his incredible lair!
