	Barsoom series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Princess of Mars was possibly the first fiction of the 20th century to feature a constructed language; although "Barsoomian" was not particularly developed, it did add verisimilitude to the narrative.
		The John Carter books enjoyed another wave of popularity in the 1970s, with Vietnam War veterans who said they could identify with Carter, fighting in a war on another planet.
		John Carter appeared in one of the last Sunday Tarzan comic strip stories, drawn by Gray Morrow.

	John Carter, Warlord of Mars
		Following the Apaches back to their camp, Carter raced in shouting and firing like a man possessed; believing themselves to be under attack from a large force of enemies, the braves fled in panic.
		He fled as the Apaches came to the realisation their foe was but a single man. With the braves pursuing, Carter managed to temporarily give them the slip among the mountain trails, and sought refuge in what he judged to be a defensible cave.
		Speaking of Gulliver Jones, a character who predates John Carter's literary debut by several years (1905 vs. 1912), given the similarities between the two and their respective depictions of Mars, it seems highly likely the former inspired the latter.
