John Carter, Warlord of Mars Vol. 1 Issue 3

The Air-Pirates of Mars, Chapter 3

"Requiem for a Warlord"

Tars Tarkas is dead. I saw his body fall under the weight of the great White Apes. And Dejah Thoris -- my beloved -- my wife -- is gone.
And I am here, wherever here is, and I am angry. And I want to slay.
And so help me, if that fiend Stara Kan comes anywhere near my battle-hungry hands, I will not hesitate to rip the life from his filthy bones.
