Happy Birthday to Michael Whelan, born June 29, 1950 in Culver City, CA! I have to say that his Barsoom covers may even surpass those of Frazetta. Agreed - and I love Frazetta. Whelan's Mars covers were literally out of this world - vivid, imaginative and masterfully executed. For me his illustrations literally brought Barsoom to life.

I did. There's some good stories and some . . . not so good stories.

little wonder he wanted to spend the rest of his life on Mars... A burnt little piece me and a buddy co-wrote.
John Carter – Silks and Furs
John Carter, Warlord of Barsoom, slipped one out beneath his silks and furs and then wafted it into the face of the most beautiful woman of two worlds, the incomparable Dejah Thoris. Dejah Thoris – Silks and Furs
Dejah stared momentarily astonished at John. Then a wry smile flashed across her features. “I did not know that you were aware of this Barsoomian custom!” Laying a delicate hand upon his pate she suddenly and forcefully shoved his head beneath the silks. It was Carter’s turn for astonishment. He had been in the grips of the great white apes of Barsoom but their great strength was nothing to the crushing force that pinned him beneath the blankets. Suddenly a gurgling eruption resounded in his ears. Like mud erupting from a geyser, a spume of noxious vapor misted across him and the bedding. The air was instantly toxic and moist. Carter thrashed feebly trying to gain egress, but to no avail. He was held as a fly in a web. The world spun about his vision as darkness rushed forward to claim his consciousness. He felt a sudden snap as a taught string was pulled to breaking. .. Cont: Awakening back in the Arizona cave Carter had a realization of why the atmosphere was dying on mars.

Not sure if this is a legit poster for the movie or a later mock-up. Interesting. ![](https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/15/ca/c7/15cac7f2653856f5cca4c266873b5362--alternative-movie-posters-fan-art.jpg)
