May 20, 2025 and eleven years ago on this day in 2014, Edgar Rice Burroughs Incorporated announced agreement with “Dynamite Comics” to relaunch “John Carter: Warlord of Mars,” comic.
Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc .and Dynamite Entertainment, announced today a comprehensive agreement that will see the return of Burroughs' original "John Carter: Warlord of Mars" to the pages of comic books, comic strips and graphic novels. The agreement allowed for the world-wide publication of the John Carter universe as well as "Lord of the Jungle" and ERB's library of archival material.
The initiative came on the heels of the reacquisition of comic book rights by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. that had been held by Walt Disney Pictures and its Marvel Entertainment subsidiary, as well as a recent legal settlement with Dynamite that cleared the way for Dynamite to introduce key characters and plot elements from the John Carter back story that were, until now, absent from recent comic book interpretations.
The 100-word drabble for today, “The Father of Space Adventure” is an excerpt from that article. The entire article may be read at: https://www.prweb.com/.../edgar_rice.../prweb11866552.htm
"It was important to reacquire comic book and comic strip rights from Marvel Entertainment so we could reintroduce them in the market place. We're excited to see the exploits of ERB’s first science fiction adventure hero brought to life in their fullness by the passionate creative talents assembled by the folks at Dynamite," said James Sullos, President of ERB Inc. "They're true fans - and it shows on every page and in every idea they've shared with us. Now fans everywhere will be able to appreciate the original adventure stories that later spawned Flash Gordon, Superman, Star Wars and Avatar."
You can order several of the issues directly from the publisher.
