The Art Of Barsoom: Marvel Comics (1970's Covers)

Continuing my look at the various artists inspired by Edgar Rice Burroughs' Barsoom / John Carter series.

This time, it's a look at the cover art of the John Carter - Warlord Of Mars Marvel Comics series that ran from 1977-1979, winning the Eagle Award for 'Favourite New Title' in 1978.

Andrew Stanton, director of the John Carter movie, is often quoted as being a fan of the comic book series, which in turn inspired him to seek out and read the original Edgar Rice Burroughs books.

The whole series was collected into a trade paperback by Dark Horse Comics in 2011.
