On the colony world of Lir, where water covered most of the planet and resources were scarce, a new age of sail came about.
Many wondrous features of the planet made this possible. Consider the ferrous algae that could be spun into sails with incredible tensile strength. Gaze in awe at the floating forests like lily pads grown gargantuan, provided a sustainable source of timber and a platform for mobile fortresses.
But the occurrence that provoked the most awe (and horror) was when the jellyfish rocked up to the colony, squatting in the craniums of bleached bone skeletons with bloody hearts glowing in their chest cavities.

Splash page for the John Carter of Mars feature in Weird Worlds (vol. 1) #1 (September, 1972). Written by Marv Wolfman, art by Murphy Anderson.
DC Comics attained the license to many of Edgar Rice Burroughs' characters in 1972. The company immediately took over the long-running Tarzan and Korak, Son of Tarzan comics books from Gold Key Comics, and kept the numbering.
The John Carter serial began in Tarzan #207, the first DC issue. Because DC's deal with ERB Inc. called for additional comic books featuring Burroughs' characters, Weird Worlds was created. John Carter was imported into the new book, along with a David Innes/Pellucidar serial that had run as a back-up feature in Korak.
That's why Weird Worlds #1 did not feature the first chapter of either serial.

Yall wanna hear a kinda funny, kinda sad story about my grandmother and hetero-normativity?
Ok, so... when my grandmother was in her 50s (I was an infant), she met a woman at the Unitarian Church. And, as can happen when you meet your soul mate, this event made it impossible for her to deny parts of herself that she had fiercely hidden her whole life.
All the drama- their affair being found out, the divorce with my grandfather, the court battle over who got the house, happened while I was a baby. Even in my earliest memories, it's just Mama Jo and Oma, and my grandfather lived elsewhere (first his own apartment, then a nursing home, then with us.)
But here's the thing- no one ever explained any of this to me. No one ever sat down and was like "hey, Rosie, so do you know what a lesbian is?" It was the 90s. It was Texas. I think my mom was still kinda processing all this, and just assumed that like... I was gonna figure it out. Don't mention it, let it just be normal. Like I think my mom thought that if she explained the situation, she would be making it weird? I dunno.
But like. In the 90s, in all the movies I had seen and books I had read, do you know how many same sex couples I had seen? Like. 0. Do you know how many "platonic best friend/roommates" I had seen? A lot. I had no context, is what I'm saying.
I literally thought this was a Golden Girls, roommates, besties situation until I was like...I dunno, 11? 12?
It was actually their parrot, an African Grey named Spike, imitating my grandmothers voice saying "Johanna, honey, it's getting late", that triggered the MIND BLOWN moment as I realized that *there's only one master bedroom and it only has 1 waterbed* when all the pieces finally clicked.
Anyway. I think it's a real important thing for kids to know queer people exist, for a lot of reasons, but also because kids can be clueless and it's embarrassing to have your grandmother be outted by a parrot because everyone just thought you'd figure it out on your own.

Anyway, here is my grandma and her wife, my Oma, after they moved to Albuquerque to be artsy gay cowboys and live their best life. They helped run a "Lesbian Dude Ranch" out there (basically just with funding and financial support. As Oma has explained "traditionally, most lesbians don't have a lot of money" so they wrote the checks and let the younger ladies actually run the ranch.)

AFTG is a very good example of narrator bias, because if we didn’t get a book from Jean and Jeremy’s POVs we would have no way of knowing the world does not actually in fact revolve around one Andrew Minyard
