Warlord of Mars #17

In "Gods of Mars Part 5! Helium Divided," John, still reeling from his recent exploits in the Iss, finds himself at odds with Zat Arras, the power-hungry regent of Helium, who seeks to have him tried. When Arras breaks his promise and captures John in secret, his allies spring into action to free him—just as news arrives that Dejah Thoris has been taken by the Black Pirates and imprisoned in the palace of Issus. With Arras watching their every move, John and his companions must plan a rescue in silence, their loyalty tested and their next move shrouded in secrecy. Written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Edgar Salazar, with colors by Marcelo Pinto and letters by Marshall Dillon, this issue features a striking cover by Joe Jusko.
