โฆ Synopsis
From Internet Archive cbz, proofed, illustrated. v1.5.
Mars' ruins hold ancient engines of power, and Guantra would use these to gain control of the solar system. But Kortha, the larger-than-life hero, will try to defeat him. And win beautiful Ilse's hand in the process, of course.
In this hi-tech 1946 view of Mars, airships apparently still have open decks and masts, and carry gunpowder in their holds. Some interesting rubber science here. But a rollicking good story on a Mars Edgar Rice Burroughs might have appreciated.
