Theagenes Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 BTW, I was remiss in giving credit to Bob (Dell4C) who provided some of the scans for this project and Rich (Yellowkid) who donated an issue to the cause. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic user Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Another "must read" thread Although this is mainly a cover-centric board here, it seems my favorite threads are the ones that take you between the covers (BangZoom's thread, In the Shadow of the Atomic Age, the Duck thread, and darn near any thread that Scrooge posts in).

tb Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I like these a lot. It's like a Classics Illustrated prototype with a touch of Flash Gordon serials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theagenes Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I like these a lot. It's like a Classics Illustrated prototype with a touch of Flash Gordon serials. That's a great point about the Classics Illustrated prototype, tb. This is a an adaptation of A Princess of Mars. Are there any earlier original adaptations of a novel in comic book form? Large Feature 5 adapts Tarzan of the Apes, but it's a reprint of the 1929 strip. Wonderland of Oz was also being adapted in the Funnies around this time, but it's a strip reprint as well.The King of the Royal Mounted Large Feature 9 was 1940.

chrisco37 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 How does he survive on the planet without a spacesuit? If Total Recall taught us anything it's that the martian atmosphere and human biology don't mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_Paulus Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Great Stuff.... thanks, I grew up reading Tarzan and JC of Mars... This brings back some great memories of my youth. I have mixed feelings on the movie that is comming out. I hope it does well and reintroduces a new generation to ERB's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
