Lord of Mars #1 Brings the Legendary Tarzan and John Carter Together

Dynamite Entertainment is proud to announce the upcoming LORDS OF MARS #1 debut in August 2013, a crossover that sees Tarzan and Jane Porter of their LORD OF THE JUNGLE series team with John Carter and Dejah Thoris of the WARLORD OF MARS franchise. The six-issue series will be written by Arvid Nelson and illustrated by Roberto Castro, with the first issue available in multiple cover editions featuring art by Alex Ross, Francesco Francavilla, Dan Panosian, and Ardian Syaf.

In LORDS OF MARS #1, the legendary Tarzan has claimed his title as Lord of Greystoke, but his very life is threatened when a hunting excursion with his fellow "gentlemen" goes disastrously wrong. Meanwhile, on Mars, John Carter is forced to respond to a veiled threat from his defeated enemies. Mars and Earth might be separated by millions of miles, but a sinister force is at work on both planets, setting the two iconic adventurers on a deadly collision course.

 

"The two greatest heroes of pulp fiction coming together... what could be better than that?" says Arvid Nelson, writer of the six-part miniseries. "And it blows the lid off the possibilities for storytelling. Earth, Mars, lost civilizations, hidden worlds, interplanetary adventures. But above all, we want LORDS OF MARS to be fun. I can't wait to unleash it on the world."
