A Barsoom Story (1) 1886. John Carter, forever 30, returns to Mars and again fights enemies with green Tars Tarka and red Kantos Kan. In 'Heaven', Golden Cliffs, 'Goddess' Issus, cannibal, claims immortal divinity and supremacy of black Omeans and white Therns, to enslave and eat pilgrims - green or red. John is trapped, as is wife Dejah Thoris, son Carthoris. To stay or leave means death.
This story follows a young Conan (still called the Cimmerian during this era) as he pursues a beautiful nymph across a frozen land, making all kinds of enemies along the way.

Was this it, at last -- the missing asteroid?
