While there she discovers that some pirates from one of the Martian moons have been investigating the reservoir. First, she is required to travel to the southern pole to discover why water has stopped flowing through the irrigation channels. Dejah is eventually able to stop the colossus and end the threat with the aid Dor Valian, who dies in the process.Īfter this the long task of rebuilding Lesser Helium began. This ultimately prove to be ineffective as the Jeddak of Yorn seized control of an ancient colossus and sought out to destroy the military forces of his enemies. It was not a sincere offering though, as he sought to bring Lesser helium further into war while also ridding himself of a son that he thought was useless. In her first story arc of her own Warlord of Mars series, she is sent to Greater Helium as means of effecting a treaty as she is to marry Dor Valian, the son of Senneth Dor. In her earliest appearances her mother is already dead, killed in war with the other city-states. By Earth standards her earliest adventures occurred in the 1500s, 400 years before John Carter arrived. Red Martians do not age once they reach maturity and thus the story of Dejah Thoris far predates that of her eventual husband, John Carter. It is worth noting that Leser Helium is called thus not because of it relative power, but because of its geographical position. She is a native of Mars and of the race of Red Martians (those Martians that most closely resemble humans.) By her birth she is a princess of Lesser Helium, as her father ( Mors Kajak) and grandfather ( Tardos Mors) rule the city state with her help.

She thus has two series in publication at the moment separated by 400 years, thus her story arcs have a significant gap between them. After first being featured in Warlord of Mars (featuring on John Carter) in 2010 (though still set in the early 20 century) her own series of Warlord of Mars was launched 400 years previous while the other series is still ongoing. In terms of her appearances while being published by Dynamite, they are somewhat out of sequence.
If there is anything which is considered canon it is the source material from Burroughs, in which Dejah is first rescued by John Carter from the green-skinned Tharks. These appearances did not carry over much to the later appearances as these stories were ignored. Both DC Comics and Marvel acquired the characters for use in the 1970s for runs of six and twenty-five issues respectively. Her appearance with Dell in the 1950s was only over the course of three issues. The majority of her story arcs have tied closely to the original source material. Her first appearance in any comic was in Four Color #375 in 1952. She has been published by Dell, DC Comics, Marvel and Dynamite, and each is a different incarnation and continuity for each publisher. (the family company to her creator) still claims the right within the UK and elsewhere in the world.

The characters in the John Carter franchise have long since passed into the public domain, and the character is essentially free to be used by any company that desires to use her - although that is only true within the United States as Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. Dejah’s origin is thus influenced more so by this genre of fiction and has carried through to modern day comics. Edgar Rice Burroughs first wrote stories about a man named John Carter that traveled to Mars (Mars is called Barsoom by its native inhabitants) and met variety of other races long before they were ever put to comic format. The concept of a group of Martians was a popular one in the science fiction writings of the late 19 and early 20 centuries. Although John Carter was ostensibly the star of the series, Dejah generally was depicted as a capable companion, and the first John Carter novel in 1917 made reference to her in its name – A Princess of Mars. She was a character that was created by Edgar Rice Burroughs and was representative of a change in fiction to what would later by regarded as pulp fiction – a scantily clad female in action sequences.
