Tharks, a tribe of creatures on the fictional planet of Barsoom, created by Edgar Rice Burroughs for the 1917 novel A Princess of Mars
The Tharks and Tars Tarkas are featured in many of the ten Martian novels written by Burroughs, in toys (as recently as the 1990s), in John Carter, Warlord of Mars comics published by both DC Comics and Marvel Comics in the 1970s, and in comic strips by John Coleman Burroughs (son of Edgar Rice Burroughs).
