DESCRIPTION
lt.tan/ow pgs; Mannarino collection
Win Mortimer cover, Moldoff art; origin and 1st app. of Martian Manhunter (J'onn J'onzz) Comic Book Impact rating of 8 (CBI)From humble beginnings featured as a backup story in this issue, the Martian Manhunter, would later become the lynchpin of the DC Universe, acting as the central figure in nearly every incarnation of the Justice League, and becoming the symbol of the Silver, Bronze, and Copper Ages. Told with economy, style, and surprising emotion, this historic issue tells the unexpectedly tragic origin of this most dark and compelling of galactic heroes, created by unsung draftsman Joe Certa and freelance sci-fi writer Joseph Samachson. In many ways, the DC Silver Age begins here.
