Indexer Notes
Adapting "A Princess of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs with a contemporary (Korean war) prologue.
Script and letters credits for this sequence from Alberto Becattini (May 14, 2007). However, 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.
