Yeah, but the verisimilitude (I've ALWAYS wanted to use that word!) he brings to the appendices of those books makes it easy to believe that Tarzan and Doc were inter-related. Not only to each other, but to all the other literary crime-fighting giants of yesteryear, as well! Hence, the popularity of Alan Moore's salute to steampunk; THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN.
Author's Response:
yes true

There's nothing wrong with such genealogical embellishment. The late, great author Philip Jose' Farmer often did it in his own works of science fiction. Most notably, TARZAN ALIVE and DOC SAVAGE: HIS APOCALYPTIC LIFE. If you can get hold of second-hand copies of the original hard-covers (including paper dust jackets), I would heartily recommend them.
Author's Response:
I didn't like his writing much. His "A Barnstormer in Oz" just (for me at any rate) ruined the charm and atmosphere of the original L Frank Baum Oz books.
