Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Burcham, F. Newton ("Butch") (illustrator). First Edition. Original mixed-media art on heavy art paper by Butch Burcham. Full color. Subject is Dejah Thoris, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Princess of Mars, who appeared most saliently in five Burroughs novels as the love interest of John Carter. Here, Dejah is rather fruitlessly threatening some bad guy aircraft with her knife, though looking very fetching, and not wearing a layered look at all, in the process. See scan. A classic, appealing Burcham Good Girl in this incarnation. 20" x 14" , unframed, fine. Signed and dated in 2007 at lower left corner. F. Newton "Butch" Burcham has lengthy credits in comic book and computer game illustration. He is listed at ERBzine as a Burroughs illustrator for his contributions to the body of published Tarzan illustration, and was interior artist for Pinnacle's vidgame titles "Monsters, Muties and Misfits" (1999) and "Horrors of the Wasted West" (2002), as well as "Conan and the Queen of the Black Coast" (1989). Among his comic credits are "Godzilla, King of the Monsters" (Trendmasters, 1994) and the Harlan Ellison comic book "Cameos" (Dark Wolf #2), various issues of Roleplayer magazine, and many others.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Burcham, F. Newton ("Butch") (illustrator). First Edition. Large, original, ink on heavy art paper ("board") by Butch Burcham. Full color. Subject is Dejah Thoris, Edgar Rice Burroughs' Princess of Mars, who appeared most saliently in five Burroughs novels as the love interest of John Carter. Dejah is looking very fetching indeed in this detailed interpretation, clad in.not a whole lot, lounging and preening on a Martian boulder, giant mushrooms in the foreground, a Martian temple in the distance. Though intended, of course, as an erotically appealing Burcham Good Girl, she has here been given something of a nice royal look by Burcham as well: rather a cross among Katherine Hepburn, Serena Williams and Vampirella. Which is something one doesn't encounter every day. See scan. 22" x 14" , unframed, fine. Signed and dated in 2006 left of image. F.

Burroughs' first published story (written in 1911) and his only story to originally appear under a pseudonym. The story first appeared under the byline "Norman Bean" (he had intended that pen name be "Normal Bean") as a six-part serial "Under the Moons of Mars" in a Munsey magazine, THE ALL-STORY, February-July 1912. This novel preceded the first publication of "Tarzan of the Apes," published in the October 1912 issue of THE ALL-STORY. This popular novel inspired numerous writers and influenced the space faring sword and raygun stories as well as influencing scientists and filmakers. ".this pioneering account of John Carter's magical transmission to the the planet Mars and his subsequent baroque adventures established a new template for fiction set on other planets, developing such imaginative spaces as arenas for exuberantly uninhibited tales of exotic derring-do . Although it hardly qualifies as science-based speculative fiction, Burroughs's account of Barsoom was enormously influential in pulp SF, standing at the head of a rich subgenre of 'planetary romances' whose evolution was carried forward by such writers as C. L. Moore, Leigh Brackett, and Ray Bradbury." - Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-194. Made into a feature film in 2012 as "John Carter."
