Indexer Notes

Fred Snyder believes the cover has another hand involved and notes that the female figure looks more like Joe Staton's work. Nick Caputo disagrees with another inker involved and points out that Staton was working solely for Charlton in this period.

Indexer Notes

Loosely adapted from the novel "The Gods of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. This was the last John Carter story in Weird Worlds and the plot shows signs of being hurriedly put to an end. Artwork uncredited, but Amendola suggested by Classic Comics forum at CBR and confirmed by The Comic Reader #97.
