Notes | Based on the novel "The Gods of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. Du Bois script credit for this sequence from Alberto Becattini (May 14, 2007). The index for John Carter of Mars #2 where this is reprinted shows Phil Evans as the scripter. David Porta in Error Report 1990 (Aug. 11, 2009) says that this script does not appear in "Gaylord Du Bois's Account Books Sorted by Title / compiled from the original account books by Randall W. Scott" (1985), which casts doubt on the story being written by Du Bois. |
