2016 Cryptozoic DC Comics: Justice League - Blank Cover Box Toppers #BT8 - Martian Manhunter

I knew that I was going to leave the JLX post up overlong, because I wanted to copyedit it to promote on social media, and because I spent too much time writing the dang thing to bury it. I had an early day at work, and figured I'd knock something out in the evening. Then when I got home, I worked on organizing my comic box, then took a "nap" until 11:58 p.m. So I figured as an 11:59 No-Prize "daily" post, here's a mostly blank trading card. Cut. Disposable. Move on.

But wait. This very much had the potential to be annoying, as one of nine chase cards in the subset that come one per box. Further, they're literally in the box, because they measure 3½" X 5", which is too big to fit in a pack but dinky for a postcard, much less the blank sketch covers its emulating. Why would anyone want this atypical, difficult to store nonsense? Oh-- because it has the 1980s Martian Manhunter logo used on his Super Powers figure card and few other places pre-21st Century retro merch. Also, it combines that logo with the short-lived DC "peel" logo, which has its fans. If you're a lettering nerd, this is tough to beat on the obscure combos tip.
