The literary influence might be better at a Martian Tales, with this article more focussed on description of Barsoom proper. Stan 08:42, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Another Barsoom-inspired work (or series of works) is Michael Moorcock's 'A Warrior of Mars'. --Trithemius 10:02, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be a mention of Ulysses Paxton here? He's the OTHER earthman to visit Barsoom. - Kevingarcia 04:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

This new section needs a reference, or it will have to be deleted. Rick Norwood 18:50, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

The article mentions that the first five novels have had their copyright expired. I am wondering if anyone has access to the illustrations and/or cover art of these books? We have one picture, which is great, but I think the article would look better with more. -- Sam Barsoom (talk) 18:59, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apt

The article suggests that the apt has four limbs, but in my 1985 copy of Warlord of Mars, on page 79, we are told the apt has 6 limbs. This discrepancy should be addressed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.96.88.118 (talk) 20:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
