JOHN CARTER - WARLORD Of MARS...

Copyright DC COMICS and the Estate of EDGAR RICE BURROUGHS

I haven't seen the new JOHN CARTER movie yet - don't know if I'll bother.  I've read some good reviews and some bad ones, so I'm as yet undecided on how to spend my hard-earned dosh in the cinema stakes.  If you're in the same boat, here's a sort of' 'trailer' for it - from way back in 1972.  Perhaps it'll help you make up your mind.

 

And below is the cover of the comic from which came the story you've just read and hopefully enjoyed.  Reached a decision yet?

CONAN CLASSIC...

Copyright MARVEL COMICS and CPI

Now, for all you frantic fearsome fans of sword and sorcery author ROBERT E. HOWARD's Cimmerian hero, you're in for a special treat.  Here's the young CONAN The BARBARIAN in his very first MARVEL COMICS outing - originally from CTB #1 and reprinted in the first of an eleven-issue series of CONAN CLASSIC.  Written by ROY (The BOY) THOMAS and drawn by BARRY (WINDSOR) SMITH.  Enjoy - and feel free to leave a comment you-know-where.

And if you'd like to see Big JOHN BUSCEMA's much later version of the same tale, then click here to be transported straight to it.
