Theagenes Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Some of you know that I've been working on scanning the complete GA run of John Carter of Mars that appeared in The Funnies from 1939 to 1941 (in nos. 30-56). With the 100th aniversary of John Carter's first appearance in print approaching and the new John Carter movie from Disney coming out in a little over two months, I thought it would be fun to share my scanning project. I'll post a couple pages every day or two leading up the release of the film, kind of like or own Gold Forum daily strip. Enjoy! Jeff EDIT: Special thanks to Bob (Dell4C) who provided some of the scans for this project and Rich (Yellowkid) who donated an issue to the cause. Thanks guys!

Theagenes Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Awesome ! Do you know who the artist was on the strip ? The artist for 30-33 wasn't credited, but it was probably Jim Gary. With issue 34 ERB's son John Coleman Burroughs took over for the rest of the series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
