“Tyrant of the North”

Dell's Four Color series brings Edgar Rice Burroughs' swashbuckling hero to vivid life in this 1953 entry, with John Carter posed dynamically aboard what appears to be a Martian flyer — one hand gripping a control, the other leveling a ray gun, his blue cape billowing dramatically behind him. The cover's painted realism gives Carter a rugged, movie-hero presence that suits a story subtitled "Tyrant of the North" perfectly. Jesse Marsh handles the interior art, making this a fine showcase of his work on one of science fiction's most enduring planetary romance heroes.

writer Philip Evans · artist, inker, letterer Jesse Marsh
