Item Description

Here are the first 3 issues of Marvel's adaptation of 'GULLIVAR JONES, WARRIOR OF MARS' arc that ran for 7 issues as the lead feature in CREATURES ON THE LOOSE in 1972.  Similar to other issues in this title, the lead feature was new, followed by two or three reprinted stories from earlier Marvel monster comics.

LT. GULLIVAR JONES was a very early Adventure/Science Fiction series of books written in 1905 by Edwin Lester Arnold and they are considered to be the inspiration for Edgar Rice Burroughs' more famous 'JOHN CARTER OF MARS' books, as both series had US military men transported to Mars where they had adventures with the beings there, and fell in love with Princesses of Mars!

Roy Thomas provides the beginnings of this engaging adventure (much as he did with his adaptations of Robert E. Howard's CONAN stories) and the first two issues contain the dynamic art of Gil Kane. Issue #18 transitioned to Gerry Conway as the scribe, with illustrations by Ross Andru. 

Within these three issues you get 30 pages of Jones' exploits on the red planet, as well as three reprints of Jack Kirby monster tales from 1961 & '62, plus short stories illustrated by Steve Ditko and Don Heck.

These are solid 8.0 VF copies of these 51 year old comics  No fingerprints or smudges!  No bends or creases!
