I’m always charmed by the evidence that British repackagers of American material hadn’t quite grasped the nature of what they’d licensed. On the cover of the UK’s 1967 Batman Annual, for example, the Martian Manhunter’s green skin has been replaced by a ho-hum fleshy tone, while “John Jones” has been fastened on as the most interesting part of the character’s name. Quite clearly, the folks at Atlas Publishing & Distributing knew very little about the JLA’s founding Martian.
