Dynamite Comics Announces 'The Art Of Dejah Thoris And The Worlds Of Mars' Collection

At the recent Baltimore Comic Con, Dynamite Comics announced the December release of 'The Art of Dejah Thoris and the Worlds of Mars', a hardcover collection featuring over 250 pages of full colour artwork from some of the finest illustrators of modern fantasy comics including Alex Ross, J Scott Campbell, Art Adams, Francesco Francavilla, Joe Jusko, Brandon Peterson, Jay Anacleto, Paul Renaud and Lucio Parrillo.

Since the first serialized adventures in 1912 of the Martian Princess Dejah Thoris and her beloved hero, John Carter, science fiction and fantasy enthusiasts have dreamed of the faraway Red Planet (known to its inhabitants as Barsoom), its wondrous sights and monstrous perils. In hundreds of full-colour illustrations, the finest artists of modern fantasy have brought the dying world of Mars to life, depicting scenes of brutal conflict with alien beasts, quiet moments overlooking Martian wastes, and enticing visions of an exotic princess at her most intimate. 

This magnificent collection of illustrations include all cover artwork to date from Dynamite’s variety of Warlord of Mars-related comics, including 'Warlord of Mars', 'Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris', 'Warriors of Mars', 'Dejah Thoris and the White Apes of Mars', 'Warlord of Mars: Fall of Barsoom', and 'Dejah Thoris and the Green Men of Mars'.

'The Art of Dejah Thoris and the Worlds of Mars' is slated for release in December 2013 and is available for pre-order now.
