John Carter Warlord of Mars Annual

In the late 1970s, Marvel brought Edgar Rice Burroughs' iconic hero back to the comics page with this short-lived annual series, a companion to the main John Carter, Warlord of Mars title. Written by a rotating team of top-tier talent including Marv Wolfman, Bill Mantlo, and Chris Claremont, with art from Ernie Chan, Alan Weiss, and Sal Buscema, each issue delivered a standalone adventure on Barsoom. These oversized stories reunited John Carter with his beloved wife Dejah Thoris and the loyal green Martian Tars Tarkas, offering fans a burst of classic sword-and-planet action. While brief, the series stands as a vibrant artifact of Marvel's Bronze Age, showcasing the company's commitment to pulp fantasy.
