On the back of a saddled Martian bird, John Carter flies above a barren red landscape with the horizon tilted at a steep angle. His arms are spread wide as he grips reins in one hand and a rapier in the other. Dejah Thoris has a worried expression as she holds him around his waist. The bird twists with its eyes and beak pointing in a different direction than rider, giving a disorienting change in motion. Behind flies Tars Tarkas on his own winged mount. An elegant city with tall spires and onion-shaped peaks sits in the distance framed by a huge moon. Another smaller moon hangs bright in the gray blue sky.

JOHN CARTER OF MARS (1979)

I’ve had a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs even since I first read them in my early teens.

This was the last of 11 covers, so it seemed fitting to have John Carter and Dejah Thoris ride off into the sunset. 1/3

In Futurama, the "Church of Trek" is a fictional, fanatical religion based on Star Trek that caused the "Star Trek Wars," leading to the show being banned and its tapes exiled to Omega 3. Featured in "Where No Fan Has Gone Before" (S4, E11), it highlights obsessive fandom where followers worship the original cast.

If you haven't read the hidden semi-canon Expanse short story The Last Flight of the Cassandra, it's apparently part of a humble bundle right now along with a gazillion indie comics (?!).

Go for the fiction, stay for the charity (Comic Book Defense Fund).

I think it's the same photo shoot, but not the same photo. There is another photo with the same background where Shatner has a slight smile. www.ebay.com/itm/18671752...

Not sure if this is the same photo. I've been looking at too many Kirks this morning. www.ebay.com/itm/20506120...

I found the photo with google image search, but the photo seems to have aged off of ebay's search. The image in google search is 1279 x 1600 pixels, 300 pixels/inch.

I’ve really enjoyed doing β€œsecret prints” for my con appearances, so for March this year we’re going romance novel with an infamous Trek twist. πŸ‘»πŸ•―οΈ

If you think this is the worst episode of Trek ever I wish I, like you, could forget the one where Kirk lives among a tribe of space Native Americans.
