Editing John Carter of Mars (section)

===Other novels and television programs===
Carter is also found in other novels and stories. He makes two appearances in [[Alan Moore]]'s ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''. The first is in the story [[Allan and the Sundered Veil]], which appears in the end of [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume I|volume one]]. In this story, Moore claims that [[H. P. Lovecraft]]'s [[Randolph Carter]] is a descendant of John Carter. Carter also appears in the beginning of [[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Volume II|volume two]], helping the Barsoomians fight against the [[Martian (War of the Worlds)|Martians]] from ''[[The War of the Worlds]]''. The same scenario also appeared in the Burroughs entry in the ''[[War of the Worlds: Global Dispatches]]'' anthology. In addition, one of the protagonists of [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[The Number of the Beast (novel)|The Number of the Beast]]'' is Captain Zebediah John Carter, whose lover becomes his wife Dejah Thoris "Deety" Burroughs Carter. The similarity in names is noted within the novel, since all of the major characters are fans of vintage science fiction. In ''[[Saturn's Children (Stross novel)|Saturn's Children]]'', by [[Charles Stross]], Barsoom and Carter City are names of settlements on Mars.  In [[Philip José Farmer]]'s "[[World of Tiers]]" novels the moon circling the World of Tiers is modelled after [[Barsoom]], from [[Edgar Rice Burroughs]]' novels, an homage which Farmer openly admits in the third book of the series. In [[Dan Simmon]]'s [[Hyperion (Simmons novel)|Hyperion]], when Fedmahn Kassad turned eighteen, he was offered the choice of serving at a Martian polar work camp or enlisting with the John Carter Brigade, a volunteer task force seeking to aid FORCE against the Glennon-Height Rebellion.  In [[Harry Turtledove]]'s [[Southern Victory]] series final novel, ''[[Settling Accounts: In at the Death]]'', a character named John Carter of the "Tarkas" estate (a reference to Tars Tarkas, one of the green men of Mars), appears before a U.S. general after having protected African-Americans from the genocide taking place elsewhere.

The "object compass" in [[E. E. Smith|E. E. "Doc" Smith]]'s [[Skylark (series)|Skylark series]] is very similar to the Barsoomian "destination compass" mentioned in the Mars series.  Moreover, the Jandar of Callisto series by Lin Carter and the Dray Prescot series by Alan Burt Akers owe a great deal to Burroughs's Mars stories.  In [[Stephen King]]'s novella ''[[The Long Walk (novel)|The Long Walk]]'', a sarcastic reference is made by a Long-Walker - when asked his name, the character replies "My name is John Carter, my home is Barsoom, Mars". In Allan Howard's short story "It's a Small Solar System", originally published in ''[[Fantastic Universe]]'' (September 1957), the first explorers to land on Mars are welcomed by a man with a Southern accent: "Welcome to Barsoom! My name is John Carter." But as no one reads for pleasure on Earth anymore, the significance of this encounter is totally lost on the newcomers, and so ends the story.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Howard |first=Allan |date=September 1957 |title=It's a Small Solar System |url=http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/28437 |journal=Fantastic Universe |publisher=Leo Margulies |access-date=2020-07-20}}</ref>

Carter has also been referenced in television shows. In ''[[Zone of the Enders: Dolores, i]]'', the protagonist, James Links, is always called "John Carter" by the WIRED officer, Baan Dorfloun. James Links is an Earth-born human who fell in love and had children with a Mars-born woman.  In Episode 15 of the [[anime]] series ''[[To Love-Ru]]'', a prince named Carter, from the planet Burroughs, arrives on Earth to conduct a hunt in a hidden alien game preserve in Guyana.  In the ''[[Babylon 5]]'' episode "[[Spider in the Web (Babylon 5)|Spider in the Web]]", John Carter is mentioned as the pilot of the first colony ship to Mars. In "Secret Origins", the pilot episode of the cartoon TV series ''[[Justice League (TV series)|Justice League]]'',  the first US astronaut on Mars is named J. Allen Carter. Carter sets up Earth for invasion by the Mars-based "Imperium", which had wiped out the native Martian population, except for sole survivor J'onn J'onzz, aka [[Martian Manhunter]].

In January 2020, Altus Press released ''[[Tarzan (book series)#Tarzan: Conqueror of Mars (2020)|Tarzan: Conqueror of Mars]]'' by [[Will Murray]], an authorized [[Tarzan]] novel in which Tarzan finds himself marooned on Barsoom and seeks John Carter's help to return home.
