Preview of new comic book Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #8

Comic Book Resources has a tantalizing five-page preview of Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #8: The Hoard of Segotha (October 2011), the eighth issue in the new comic book series published by Dynamite Entertainment that chronicles what the lovely Martian princess Dejah Thoris was doing hundreds of years before John Carter arrived on Barsoom!

Variant cover art by Joe Jusko.

Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium, and Phondari, Pirate Queen of Mars, find themselves in the clutches of Phodari's old master, Xen Brega. But before Xen was Phondari's master, he was her slave. Phondari wasn't the kindest of mistresses, and Xen's looking for a little vengeance. He's invited Phondari and Dejah to dinner... to be the main course! If Dejah and Phondari can escape the butcher's knife, Dejah might just learn a thing or two about the mysterious coin she discovered, and why Phondari is so interested in it.

Based on the fantastical science fiction of beloved pulp author Edgar Rice Burroughs, Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #8 was written by Arvid Nelson, with interior artwork by Carlos Rafael, and variant cover art by Alé Garza, Joe Jusko, and Paul Renaud.
