John Carter of Mars

Post by Row »

Hi Alan,

I was checking something out today for a project that I'm involved in with a few indie creators, the project is a one off team based book with their respective heroes, but the creators have all decided that they really want to included one of the many now available Public Domain characters that are free to use.

They're still trying to decide which one to choose ( they're looking at the female characters to balance out the team), but I was suprised to see a certain Mr John Carter of Mars on the public Domain list......... and I thought ' I wondered if Alan knows about this?'

I read in the Modern Masters book that you'd said you'd like to have been able to do something with John Carter but at the time the copyright was still owned by the respective parties, but now that he's a PD character.....could there be the slightest chance of a Alan Davis & Mark Farmer adaption of one of the books?

As far as I am aware all of ERB’s creations are owned by his estate.
