Thuvia

Thuvia is a princess of Barsoom (Mars) drawn from Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic science-fantasy novels, first adapted to comics in Dell's Four Color #437 in 1952. She moves among iconic Martian figures including John Carter and Dejah Thoris.

Stepping out of Edgar Rice Burroughs' legendary Barsoom mythology and onto the comics page in 1952, Thuvia made her Golden Age debut in Dell's Four Color #437, brought to life by the artwork of Jesse marsh and the storytelling DNA of Burroughs himself. She moves through some of the most storied company in science-fantasy comics — sharing adventures with John Carter, Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, and the wider cast of Mars's most beloved saga — and her appearances span an remarkable seventy years, from the Golden Age all the way to Dynamite Entertainment's modern Barsoom titles. Popping up across Weird Worlds, John Carter: The Gods of Mars, and especially Dejah Thoris, she's a recurring presence in one of comics' most enduring pulp-fantasy universes. For collectors tracing Burroughs' red planet through every era of the medium, Thuvia is a name worth watching for.
