About the series
In 2011 and 2012, Marvel returned to Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Barsoom with this four-issue miniseries, written by Peter David and illustrated by Luke Ross. Following the warrior John Carter and the Martian princess Dejah Thoris, the story pits them against familiar foes like the warlord Tal Hajus and the jeddak Sab Than, while the loyal green Martian Tars Tarkas stands at their side. A concise, character-driven adventure that captures the pulp spirit of the original novels, it serves as a vibrant entry point for readers curious about the red planet’s savage romance.
