  1. JOHN CARTER OF MARS (1979)
    Acrylic - 22” x 28”

    I’ve had a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs even since I first read them in my early teens. This was the last of 11 covers, so it seemed fitting to have John Carter and Dejah Thoris ride off into the sunset. 1/3

  11. #EdgarRiceBurroughs offered a wealth of critical fodder with his #Tarzan stories (was it even necessary to list all the problems, starting with the very idea of him?), or his #Barsoom series, where the protagonist #JohnCarter had been a captain in the Army of New #Virginia before becoming a Martian warlord. "A #Confederate officer?" Atticus's father had said, appalled. "That's the hero?"
