I had or have all the marvel John Carter comics . I think it had maybe 30 issues and was the last comic I bought and collected. It was a good read and Marvel did a good job . I cant remember , in the marvel comics , whether they eluded to him being immortal . Ill have to check if I still have them or if they were sold when I sold most of my collection back in the 90's [ which pains me to remember ]

That was the 10 year old me. I doubt I would like them now.Citizen B wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 3:41 pmI've read a few but the Man of Bronze and his crew never appealed to me.
G-8 and his Battle Aces, though. I find those stories riveting.
These reprints are the best $9.95 you will ever spend in the best pulp tradition. WWI zombies! The Cave Man Patrol! The Gorilla Staffel! What's not to like? https://adventurehouse.com/shop/product ... e-aces-ah/
I bet I would like to read Tarzan again.
God and Texas!
I tried to reread the first Tarzan book, "Tarzan of the Apes," in my forties and it was a slog. I don't think I made it halfway through.
That said, I don't mind revisiting the literature I enjoyed as a youth. I enjoy rereading the Dick and Jane books. The only thing that would make them better is if Tars Tarkas showed up.
Tars Tarkas can play.

I re read some of my old beloved Willard Price books around 40. Must be a phase you go through at that age. I still read and enjoy my old Asterix books from time to time.Citizen B wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 8:54 pmI tried to reread the first Tarzan book, "Tarzan of the Apes," in my forties and it was a slog.

ERB's novel ... The Mucker is one of his best , its a little gritty and more realistic than Mars ,Tarzan and the land that time forgot etc
