A Princess of Mars
John Carter was the lead character in the first novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, set on a fictionalized version of Mars known as Barsoom. Written between July and September 28, 1911, the novel was serialized as "Under the Moons of Mars" in the pulp magazine "The All-Story" from February to July 1912. It later appeared as a complete novel only after the success of Burroughs' Tarzan series. For its October 1917 hardcover publication by A.C. McClurg &amp; Company, the novel was retitled "A Princess of Mars."
