John Carter: World of Mars

In 2012, Marvel returned to the dying world of Barsoom with this single-issue comic, written by Peter David with art by Luke Ross. It offered a fresh, self-contained take on the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs setting, distilling the pulp adventure of John Carter's Martian exploits into a concise, modern package. While brief, the issue stands as a succinct, creator-driven entry point into the iconic science fantasy universe, showcasing David's knack for character and Ross's dynamic visuals.
