Inspired by the work of Edgar Rice Burroughs. This compelling collection of original short stories by various authors is inspired by sci-fi master Burroughs's classic Mars tales. Some detail additional exploits of John Carter, while many offer adventures of other Barsoom inhabitants. Each is preceded by a note providing context for readers unfamiliar with Burroughs's work; an appended guide contains further clarification. Dramatic illustrations from various artists are interspersed.
