Warlord of Mars: Dejah Thoris #19

Paul Renaud Cover

Svero turns Dejah over to the Vathek in order to secure his family's safe return. Andalust takes Dejah to the Vathek's home planet of Strio (read: Saturn) where he is supposed to take her before the God-Emperor but instead takes her home to his castle where he asks her to be his bride. She agrees to stay with him willingly if he helps her save Barsoom from the Vathek. The pair fly back to the planet Vona where Dejah and the resistance try to stop the bomb that threatens to destroy Barsoom while Andlaust releases a dust that lets sunlight through the atmosphere to stop his vampiric people.
