...we've dropped the series and are, instead, re-presenting the never-reprinted "Secret Diaries of John Carter" high-adventure series that ran in DC Comics' Tarzan Family in 1976!
There are a couple of inconsistencies with the established John Carter/Burroughs Universe canon.
The Myposans are actually a
Venusian race from Burroughs'
Carson of Venus series which we ran last year!
The girl should be red-skinned or pale white, not Caucasian-flesh colored.
It's
not clearly-stated when this story takes place, but because Carter is
still wearing his Earth-produced pants, it's implied that it's shortly
after he arrives on Mars.
(The Comics Code didn't allow him to show up stark naked on Barsoom!)
This all-new tale from Tarzan Family #62 (1976) was written by Bob Kanigher, penciled by Noly Zamora and inked by Vicatan, but several panels were obviously re-drawn by editor Joe Kubert.
As we mentioned earlier, this series has never been reprinted since it's publication in 1976, even in the Dark Horse trade paperback that presented all the other John Carter stories that appeared in Tarzan and Weird Worlds!
