John Carter, Warlord of Mars #7

Dynamite's 2015 series rooted in Edgar Rice Burroughs' beloved Barsoom mythology reaches its seventh chapter with a cover that puts the epic romance front and center — John Carter and a red-skinned Martian woman, adorned in gold jewelry and a diadem, share an intensely close embrace against a backdrop of Martian moons, candlelit spires, and sweeping crimson drapery. Ed Benes' cover linework captures both the tenderness and the adventure-serial grandeur that have always made these stories so compelling. With Ron Marz scripting and Ariel Medel on interior art, "Excursion" promises another rich visit to the dying world of Barsoom.
