I wonder if this is the valley that is referred to in the John Carter Warlord of Mars omnibus?

BTW: Is it true that John Carter is the first "superhero"?  See @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Princess_of_Mars

I ask because I read somewhere recently (and can't remember where) that John Carter predates Tarzan, and therefore, he is the first "superhero".

BTW2: Does Marvel/Disney have any plans to publish an ongoing John Carter book?  I think I've seen a few mini-series advertised recently.

BTW3: Why, O, why, was the John Carter Warlord of Mars comic book from the late 1970's cancelled!  It's awesome!

My name is Oedi and I soar amidst the stars far from the planet of my birth. I guess this starship is the closest thing I've got to a home now, for I am a refugee and an outlaw. Vanth Dreadstar, Syzygy Darklock, Willow 327, Rainbow and Skeevo are my family. We are revolutionaries. Our goal? To bring an end to the 200 year old war between the Instrumentality and the Monarchy!
