Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #24

In Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #24, Dejah Thoris, Kantos, and Tash seek refuge in a cavern to escape giant rats and the deadly assassin Boll-Mar—only to stumble upon a tribe of cannibalistic white men. When Tash is captured and moments from a grim fate, Boll-Mar intervenes not out of mercy, but because his honor forbids the violation and consumption of a woman—even one he was hired to kill. As he frees Dejah and Kantos, Tash flees and leaps from a cliff rather than face capture. Written by Robert Napton and illustrated by Carlos Rafael, with colors by Carlos Lopez and letters by Marshall Dillon, the cover by Fabiano Neves captures the moment’s tension in striking detail.
