Dejah Thoris and the Green Men of Mars #3

Dynamite's Dejah Thoris and the Green Men of Mars #3 pulls no punches with a cover that places the Princess of Helium front and center — adorned in golden jewelry, chained yet defiant — while a hulking, tusked Green Martian looms behind her, axe raised against a smoldering Martian sky. The tension between captivity and fierce composure makes for a genuinely gripping image, capturing Dejah Thoris as a figure of resilience even in dire circumstances. Spinning out of Warlord of Mars, this 2013 Dynamite series continues to give Barsoom's most celebrated princess a saga worthy of her stature.
