Notes

• The Mahars were created by Edgar Rice Burroughs in his Hollow Earth/Earth's Core novels, such as "At the Earth's Core" (1914).
  • "At the Earth's Core" was possibly an inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's "The Nameless City" (1921), often considered the first story set in the Cthulhu Mythos. Marvel Comics tied the works of the two authors in a story cycle going from Tarzan #15 (August, 1978) to 23 (April, 1979), whose featured protagonist Tarzan was also created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
• The Mahars might also have been the inspiration for H.P. Lovecraft's Elder Things.
