Lars of Mars

This one is hard to overplay, comicbook fans in that material like the stuff contained in the handful of issues that made up the full output of Ziff Davis's Lars Of Mars is tough to beat. No, strike that: it's impossible to beat! Heck, written by Jerry Siegel and drawn by Murphy Anderson and the true forerunner of the Red Planet's J'onn J'onzz, this is the real McCoy. Collects Lars of Mars #10 (April/May 1951) and #11 (July/August 1951), Crusader from Mars #1 (March 1952) and #2 (Fall 1952), and Eerie Adventures #1 (Winter 1951).
