Moorcock also wrote a Trilogy that is a pastiche of ERB's Mars series. Stirling has written one Barsoom story although unfortunately Anderson did not. See The ERBian Dimension II.
Anderson did contribute stories to several other authors' series and some other authors' sequels to his works are collected in Multiverse. See here. Having just reread and posted about Anderson's "The Queen of Air and Darkness," I next reread my discussion of Nancy Kress's and Terry Brooks' sequels to that work and now am not clear which of them I was summarizing in that post so maybe it is time to reread both those stories.

Paul:
There are (at least) two versions of The Warlord of the Air, with some of the names changed between them. In one, an American racist who causes some difficulties for Bastable is named Egan, whereas in the other, his name is Reagan.
Also, there's an aristocrat whose social conscience has made him a revolutionary. In one edition, he's Count Dutschke, apparently named for Alfred Willi Rudolf "Rudi" Dutschke, a prominent voice of the 1960s German student movement. According to Wikipedia, "his socialism had strongly Christian roots; he called Jesus Christ the 'greatest revolutionary'..." and he opposed violence even after an assassin nearly killed him. The other edition, the one I own, makes him Count Rudolfo Guevara. (Although "Che" Guevara's given name was Ernesto. It IS an alternate universe, after all.)
Kaor, Paul and DAVID!
Paul: It's shameful of me, but I've read very little of Michael Moorcock's work. Partly because his Elric of Melnibone stories did not appeal to me and partly because the contempt or hostility Moorcock had for JRR Tolkien angered me.
David: Your comments about Count Rudolfo Guevara/AKA "Che" Guevara reminded me of William F. Buckley's Blackford Oakes novel SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR. WFB presents the monstrous "Che" Guevara as having both the potentiality of being a very good man who instead became a cruel and fanatical henceman of Fidel Castro who helped to send many thousands of Cubans to the execution yard or prison.
I really am SICK of the "social conscience" of politicians and "revolutionaries" who so often end up matters far worse and causing unspeakably vast agony and torment!
