In the late 1970s, Atlantic Forlag brought Edgar Rice Burroughs’s swashbuckling hero to comics with a 13-issue series that channeled the pulpy grandeur of Barsoom. Scripted primarily by Chris Claremont and Marv Wolfman, with dynamic visuals from Gil Kane, Mike Vosburg, and Rudy Nebres, these adventures blended cosmic sci-fi with fantasy. It stands as a distinctive, pre-direct-market take on the character, offering a lean but vivid run that captures the spirit of the original novels.
