Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris Vol 1

Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris is an American ongoing comic book series blending elements of the Science Fiction and Sword & Sorcery genres. It is based on the Warlord of Mars series of pulp sci-fi novels written by Edgar Rice Burroughs beginning in 1913. This title spotlights the heroine of the book series, the Martian princess, Dejah Thoris. The series ran from March 2011 to March 2014, spanning a total of thirty-seven issues. All thirty-seven issues have been collected in trade paperback format.

The first creative team on the title consisted of writer Arvid Nelson with Carlos Rafael executing the artwork and inks. It was colored by Carlos Lopez with lettering by Marshall M. Dillon. Future creators included writer Robert Place Napton, and Spanish artist Debora Carita. The series was edited by Joseph Rybandt.

The main character, Dejah Thoris, is a humanoid alien who hails from the planet Mars. She is a princess of the city-state of Helium and becomes the lover interest of the displaced 19th century Earth man John Carter. The two eventually become husband and wife and bear children.

Martians live forever - everyone knows that. So what was Dejah Thoris doing all those hundreds of years before John Carter arrived? Four hundred years before the events of Warlord of Mars took place, Dejah's nation of Helium was divided into two warring city-states. An unscrupulous overlord from afar encouraged that rivalry to his own advantage, until he discovered a terrible secret from Mars' ancient past beneath Dejah Thoris' capital. A secret to kill for!
