Martian Batmen

Dr. Omega’s companions in his travels are two Frenchmen: his neighbor Denis Borel (the narrator), and his worker, the hulkish Fred. Dr. Omega and his two companions travel to Mars. They first land in one of the Martian seas, and do some underwater exploration, during which they encounter phosphorescent fish and aggressive reptilian mermen. Back on the surface, they are attacked by savage dwarf-like beings with long, tentacled arms. Later, they explore the Red Valley in which bat-men have developed artificial wings to cohabit with deadly snakes.
