Arrival!

My Martian Manhunter volume 1 has arrived.  I read a couple of pages, but I had to return to work so I couldn't get very involved. I was eager to see his first appearance.  The first appearance was not actually J'onn J'onzz at all, but Roh Kar.
My black and white version and a color version I found on comicvine.com.

I had to Google Roh Kar of course and a couple of things popped up. One regarding the Martian I'm reading about and one completely different. The first Roh Kar is believed to be a prototype for J'onn J'onzz according to comicvine.com. He only makes one appearance in Detective Comics #78. I haven't finished the story, but I now know I'm yet to see MM's first appearance.

The second Roh Kar was very interesting in the quick skim I did of his info. He was part of a Martian mission that crash landed on Earth and was held for years being experimented on.  I believe I read at one time that J'onn rescues some fellow Martians from a similar situation, so this may be it.
