These guys sure are bloodthirsty. They'll kill anyone at the drop of a hat. Want to see Dejah Thoris? Kill the guards. Want to marry Dejah Thoris? Kill her fiance. No problem.

The golden age comics based on books like those of ERB are always so much bettwer than the stuff written exclusively for the comics.

So true. So much of the original GA material is very poorly written. Adaptations of other works almost have to better than the average GA story by their very nature.

The Fast Fiction adaptation of She by H. Rider Haggard, for example, is another great read.

I'm trying to figure out why they would scale the wall when they could simply run through the gate. Then again, they haven't figured out that a breast plate would be a good idea for a sword fight.
