Dynamite Entertainment is publishing a new Dejah Thoris comic book series by Chuck Brown and Emiliana Pinna as a young princess of Mars, set long before John Carter travelled to Barsoom in the first novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs.

"A young princess Dejah has lived a sheltered existence so far, growing up safe behind vast and thick palace walls and guarded by the greatest warriors in the land. That is, until one fateful day that changes the course of her life forever. The entire royal family is attacked by the horrific Kaldane Martians one day. The princess narrowly escapes, but now finds herself in the harsh wilds of Barsoom. She will have no recourse but to strike out on a quest to find her way back and save her kingdom. Set a few thousand years before Dejah meets the fabled John Carter, fans will get to see her grow and discover herself beyond being a pampered princess. Alongside allies like her former Helium servant and close friend Roo, and a young Green Martian named Hudd, Dejah will hone her skills and become a warrior and champion of her people as well. She will learn more about the diverse peoples and creatures of her world, shedding her preconceived notions that her sheltered education instilled in her. Oh, and watch out for the kangaroo men and man-eating Calot trees too!"

"As someone who has been enamoured by the world of Barsoom and its inhabitants for a several years, I am truly excited to share this adventure with you," said writer Chuck Brown. "I'm looking forward to fans joining me on this journey through the captivating world of Dejah Thoris and the Red Planet."

Variant covers are also by Lesley "Leirix" Li, Joseph Michael Linsner, Junggeun Yoon, Rebeca Puebla, Joshua "Sway" Swaby, daughter of YouTuber Gem Mint Collectibles, Jade Hope and cosplayer Rachel Hollon.
