Corrected text: Captain John Carter, the main character in a series of fantasy novels by Edgar Rice Burroughs, is the perfect romantic hero. Originally from Virginia, Carter is a courteous man of good character - but he is not to be trifled with. He will quickly draw his sword and fight to the death for what he believes in. He is persistent, rugged, strong, and immortal. Carter cannot recall having had a childhood. He has always been about 30 years old and never ages. One day, while searching for gold in an Arizona cave, he "dies" unexpectedly... or does he? Carter awakens to find himself on Mars.
