Dejah Thoris and the White Apes of Mars #2

Dejah Thoris commands attention on this 2012 Dynamite cover, rendered in Brandon Peterson's lush, ornate style — the Martian princess reclines dramatically amid golden columns and intricate ironwork, adorned in her signature jewelry and warrior's blade close at hand. The richly saturated palette of amber, teal, and gold gives the scene a genuinely sumptuous feel that suits Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom to perfection. With Mark Rahner writing and Lui Antonio on interior art, this miniseries offers a strong spotlight on one of planetary romance's most enduring heroines.
