John Carter: A Princess of Mars

In 2011, Marvel Comics launched a single-issue adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ classic sci-fi adventure, A Princess of Mars, with writer Roger Langridge and artist Filipe Andrade bringing the story of John Carter’s first journey to Barsoom to life. This comic distills the iconic pulp novel into a vivid, standalone comic experience, capturing the wonder and danger of the Red Planet through Andrade’s expressive, stylized art. Though brief, it stands as a modern, creator-driven take on a foundational work of planetary romance.
