Don’t you think this one looks like Michael Jackson on steroids?
Yeah, I really gotta’ speak to the artist. When Dejah Thoris sees that one, she’s gonna’ be pissed!
She looks ok, aside from not being red or whatever.
You on the other hand…Got any new CDs out?
But the female is always more aware of appearances. When you’re thinking Dejah, think Natalie Portman with a slight red tinge. She will not think that artwork flatters her.
As for new albums, I haven’t had time lately. Tars Tarkas, Podkayne and I have been too busy leading protests against the proposed terraforming of Mars.
But then I can do a pretty mean version of “Billie Jean”. 
Lets look at the similarities;
John Carter:Lives in a Fantasy world
Michæl Jackson:Lives in Neverland ranch
John Carter:Best swordsman on 2 worlds
Michæl Jackson:Best pop singer with 2 skin tones
John Carter:Married to the daughter of a king
Michæl Jackson:Married to the daughter of The King.
John Carter:Kidnapped by the black pirates of Mars
Michæl Jackson:Music pirated by the rappers from L.A.
Hmmm is this a coincidence?
cplant==banned for porn link!
kidding! That’s the cover of the edition i have. The Jimber Jaw painting has freaked me out, as well as the name Jimber Jaw.
Welcome aboard(s), Holodeck. Frickin’ hilarious post!
I’ll mention how I read all of the first edition hardbound red cover books of the Mars series.

Where can I buy new, printed editions of the Barsoom series?
I can’t locate them anywhere. 
[hijack]Why is science fiction/fantasy art always so bad? Click on the Warlord of Mars link. That guy has some serious deformities!
The “Jimber Jaw” painting, by the way, is the cover from John Carter of Mars.
Whenever I go through the huckster room at the cons, I think “I wouldn’t hang this stuff in a (whorehouse? crappy bar? your favorite cheezy place here).” Of course, you could sell it to Saddam if you could find him.

Hey, John, Tars, how is old blind, dirty Noisy Rhysling doing? If I read my timeline correctly, he should be hanging up the accordian soon and heading back home, to the cool… you know.

And the cool green hills of earth”
I dunno’ about old Noisy. Tars and I travel back and forth by magic or teleportation or some other such nonsense that we don’t understand.
Podkayne is the spaceship captain. She’s probably got Noisy workin’ in the bar or something.
Holodeck: That post simply ROCKED! Welcome to the board.
I’ve got the original red cover Tarzan books, but alas, none from the Mars series.
I always wished Burroughs had brought John, Dejah, Tars and the gang down to battle Nazis or somesuch.

Look, I thought we had this clearly planned out, JCoM.
You were going to keep up with all of the ape men (along with their putative King) and I was supposed to cover the multi-armed hulking Martians, not to mention their tasty little sweetie.
What part of this didn’t you understand?
Oh I understood it all quite well. It’s just that Dejah can be so, ummmm, convincing, ya’ know? Can I help it if she wanted me there? Am I the only super hero to allow himself to be drawn away from the One True Path by a winsome lass?
I think not!
Hey, Jeddak of Jeddaks, what are you doing in Alabama?
We may get to see this in Alan Moore’s League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, albeit fighting HG Wells’ Martian tripods.
my copy has him flying some huge lizard bird
I was referring to the web site referenced in the OP. That funky almost-a-skeleton guy holding the babe in a physically impossible position.
Click on Princess of Mars. What the heck is that animal, a water buffalo?
It’s a Thoat. If you want to know more, you’ll have to read the book! 
I have a vague memory of one of Burroughs’ Venus books where he mocked the Nazis by parodying the Hitler salute (people stood on their heads and said “Maltus Memphis” or something like that).
