About the series
Marvel’s John Carter, Warlord of Mars (1977–1979) adapts Edgar Rice Burroughs’ swashbuckling sci-fi saga across 28 issues, with Earthman John Carter battling and befriending the savage races and strange beasts of Barsoom. Anchored by the dynamic pencils of Gil Kane and Sal Buscema, and scripts from Marv Wolfman, Chris Claremont, and Peter Gillis, the series brings the Red Planet’s iconic heroes—Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, and Kantos Kan—to vivid life. It stands as Marvel’s most sustained attempt to capture Burroughs’ pulpy, romantic vision of a dying world, offering fans a definitive Bronze Age take on the Warlord’s adventures.
