Sometimes, I want to draw a story in this kind of genre.

Yes, yes, that would be lovely.

Murphy Anderson - great artist. Posted his John Carter story on my blog if you haven't already seen it.

Yes indeed Kid, saw it, though I haven't seen the movie yet. My daughter wants to see it, so I'll prolly see that soon enough.

Much as I admire Anderson's work, and all the other great artists who have illuminated the Barsoomian saga, they still haven't come up to what I see in my mind's eye when I read the words written out by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

Okay, Frazetta and Krenkel come close.

Then that's a subject for a future post, Thom - when you have the time. I haven't read the books, but I'd love to see your interpretations of the characters.
