Yeah, they were serials in pulp magazines, and they followed the pattern of the time. But E.R.B.'s sheer sense of imagination was not easy to match. He created a marvelous idea with the Tarzan stories, one that has far outlived its creator, and his Martian world was equally memorable.

It's true about Martian gravity. Very good for maintaining perky uplift, I should think. Nevertheless, it is my opinion that Ms. Thoris normally kept her breasts covered in public.
