SPECIAL
EVENT
The
Warlords of MARS!
Warlord of Mars will take you to the Red Planet
and pulp adventuring.
This is your opportunity to experience pulp adventure
with a Hero of amazing proportions. His name is John Carter!
Meet the Warhoons and Tars Tarkus, Jeddek of Thark representing the gigantic
Green Men of Mars.
You'll also encounter The Therns, evil White
Priestly caste living in the Valley of Dor with the Great White Apes and
the sickening Plant Men. Visit stately Helium, center of the Empire of Tardos
Mors and his lovely daughter, the "incomparable" Dejah Thoris who's always
lost or kidnapped.
As if that's not enough, every time you turn
around the evil Black Pirates from the South Pole are assaulting you from
their airships. We must also mention the Yellow Men of the North Pole

If you can get through this mess you are a real
