Podcast: 60 Years of Martian Manhunter - 1957

After nearly a year, you'd be forgiven for thinking we were covering our  retrospective of John Jones' publication history in real time. Blame  our coverage of the current but increasingly finite ongoing Martian Manhunter maxi-series?  1957 offers a lot of repeats with slight variations on John Jones  stories, but also the debuts of pretty probationary policewoman Diane  Meade and TOR, Robot Criminal from Mars! Also, we look at the Sleuth  from Outer Space's international publication history, which started  quite early in Mexico and Australia, the latter proving the Martian  Detective his first ever cover appearance (a phenomena well known to  Aquaman, who turned up on lots of foreign editions in original  illustrations before fronting a book in his native country.) Also, ads  for our friend podcasts, Pulp 2 Pixel's Secret Sagas of the Multiverse and Count Drunkula's The Power of Fishnets. Please stick around to rank the Detective Comics stories from 1955-1957...

We enjoy dialogue on the red planet, so here are our non-telepathic contact options:
