Warlord of Mars is a graphic novel of the John Carter from Mars Edgar Rice Burroughs stories. The colored art is superhero style, photo-realistic with a lot of detail on muscles and clothing. The book is very text-heavy, starting with a note from ER Burroughs saying that this story is from John Carter's diaries and continuing with John reaching Arizona as a confederate soldier in search of gold. The parts on Mars have much less dialogue, and John is essentially superman with a 12-pack. The woman, Dejah, is equally offensively drawn, but while John gains clothing throughout the story,she does not. If you're interested in the John Carter stories, you could try this graphic novel.
