1860s dashing imperialist adventurer steps out of the steaming steel capsule, and takes a deep breath of the fragrant air of the Venusian jungles. He adjusts his pith helmet, and spots a gorgeous-looking fruit growing from a nearby tree. Eager to sample the bounty of the new world, he takes a bite. Immediately keels over dead.

Great Joe Kubert cover for Tarzan Family (formerly Korak, Son of Tarzan) #60 (December, 1975). Kinda misleading, though, as John Carter of Mars doesn't appear in the issue.

I liked the DC Giants back in the 1970s, even if most of their content consisted of reprints. I got exposure to stories, writers and artists that I might never have seen (and at that point in my life, certainly unable to find and/or afford the originals).

I was sorry when the Tarzan license was bought by Marvel Comics in 1977. John Buscema was a great artist, but his Tarzan couldn't hold a candle to Joe Kubert's. I also found Marvel's Tarzan comic book plodding and boring.

I did, however, enjoy the heck out of Marvel's John Carter: Warlord of Mars.
