That's weird because A Princess of Mars, the first John Carter novel and the one that introduces a lot of the characters and concepts of Burrough's Barsoom, is in the public domain. This is how they went after Dynamite Comics, who were publishing comics based on the John Carter characters.
Similarly, you may ask, is John Carter in the public domain?
While the original Tarzan and John Carter books are in the public domain, “Tarzan” and “John Carter” are trademarked terms and thus some explanation of how they are used legally here is in order.
Furthermore, who wrote The Princess of Mars? Edgar Rice Burroughs
People also ask, is Tarzan in the public domain?
Edgar Rice Burroughs' “Tarzan and the Golden Lion” is now in the public domain in the United States. U.S. copyright law gives creators several exclusive rights over their creative and original works. A federal law enacted in 1998 extended the term of U.S. copyright protection to all works.
How many John Carter of Mars books are there?
