John Carter Warlord of Mars v1 #18, 1978 - By the late 1970s, Marvel had acquired the rights to both of Edgar Rice Burroughs' most popular characters. This is Frank Miller's first effort for Marvel, just prior to his astonishing run on Daredevil. It's stylistically similar to those early issues, before his work began to mature. His page layouts are inconsistent, but several individual panels hint at his potential. The use of dark foreground objects to enhance depth and strategic shadow placement are devices he would use on later works. Though the cover also looks like Miller, John Byrne confirms he's the actual cover artist. Sadly, the pencils are buried under the weight of Rudy Nebres' inks. This is 1 of 1 John Carter Warlord of Mars issues by Byrne and 1 of 3 John Carter Warlord of Mars issues by Miller.
