About the series
DC's Weird Worlds (1972–1974) was a ten-issue anthology series that adapted Edgar Rice Burroughs' classic science-fantasy adventures, primarily featuring John Carter of Mars and his supporting cast—including Dejah Thoris, Tars Tarkas, and Sola—alongside tales of the Pellucidar inner world starring David Innes and Abner Perry. Anchored by writers Marv Wolfman and Len Wein, with art from Sal Amendola, Alan Weiss, and Murphy Anderson, the series offered a vivid, short-lived revival of Burroughs' pulp visions during the Bronze Age of comics. Its significance lies in bringing these foundational planetary romances to a new audience, bridging the gap between classic literature and the superhero-dominated landscape of the era.
