Description "Here I was thrown upon my back, and beheld standing over me a colossal ape-like creature, white and hairless except for an enourmous shock of bristly hair upon its head.
...
The creatures were about ten or fifteen feet tall, standing erect, and had, like the green Martians, an intermediary set of arms or legs, midway between their upper and lower limbs. Their eyes were close together and non-protruding; their ears were high set, but more laterally located than those of the Martians, while their snouts and teeth were strikingly like those of our African gorilla. Altogether they were not unlovely when viewed in comparison with the green Martians."
from A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs

After seeing John Carter I've begun reading A Princess of Mars .

very nice! I found a copy of some of the John Carter series online, thus I'm also reading them. Funny how Disney got a hold of it. Inaccuracies everywhere! They weren't naked!

Keep up the good work!

Yes, they embellished quite a bit on the original... it's really to be expected. But I still thoroughly enjoyed the movie!

Thanks for having a look!
