Warlord of Mars #21
In "Part 1: The Shadow of the Temple," John races to save Dejah and Thuvia after uncovering a secret meeting between Matai Shang and Thurid—only to watch helplessly as Shang captures them and takes his daughter Phaidor. With a tracking device from Xodar’s court and the last airship available, he sets off in pursuit across the Martian wastes. Arvid Nelson’s gripping script and Vicente Cifuentes’s dynamic art bring the chase to life, while Lucio Parrillo’s striking cover captures the tension of a desperate man on the edge of a storm.
