Tarzan / John Carter: Warlords of Mars #2

The second chapter of this 1996 Dark Horse crossover event brings together two of Edgar Rice Burroughs' most beloved heroes, and the cover by Bret Blevins wastes no time setting the stakes — a massive, green-skinned Martian warrior looms over a lean, loincloth-clad figure (Tarzan), clutching him in one powerful hand while brandishing a sword with the other, red cape sweeping dramatically behind them. It's a vivid, kinetic image that captures just how outmatched Earth's mightiest jungle lord might be against the fearsome denizens of Barsoom. With Bruce Jones scripting and Blevins handling interior art as well, "Storm Winds of Mars" promises the kind of pulp adventure that made both Tarzan and John Carter enduring fixtures of popular imagination.
