Disclose Notes: The first two-thirds of the story is a fairly-faithful adaptation of the 1913 John Carter story "The Gods of Mars" by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The final third of the story condenses and changes some plot points in order for the story to end happily. In the original there is a cliff-hanger which is followed up in the next story "The Warlord of Mars". Phil Evans is credited for the story in Robin Snyder's The Comics.
