was [untitled] [Story on Interior Page(s)]
Reprint Notes:  
Miscellaneous
Pages: 10
Disclose Notes: Dialogue and situations are "Maltese-ian"! In the "Looney Tunes Universe", Mars must be a rather diverse planet. First and foremost, there is the animated Marvin the Martian and his "Roman-helmeted kind" (also seemingly co-created by Michael Maltese, as writer for director Chuck Jones), these Martian Mirror-Men, and the "round hairballs with arms and legs" as seen in the "Muffman from Mars" story from Bugs Bunny (Dell, 1952 series) #39 (October-November 1954) by Don R. Christensen and Phil DeLara. However, none of them are a match for Bugs.
