Kitchen Sink March 1973
The first issue of Commies from Mars was not entirely reflective of the content that appeared in subsequent issues after the title was revived in 1979. For instance, there is a major Barefootz story by Howard Cruse in this issue, and Cruse did not reappear in any later issues of the series. Nor did Steve Stiles, Bill Crawford or Grass Green, who also contributed stories here. Which is not to say this comic suffers greatly from these anomalies. Commies from Mars #1 is a very amusing read. But the series really begins to assume a much more remarkable personality with the second issue.
