Tom Hartley went nuts with his The Martian Manhunter Archives Volume 1 Fan Mock-Up, including creating a Back Cover, Table of Contents, and Introduction for his fantasy tome. He's stated his intention to give the same works to a five volume set of all the Silver Age Manhunter tales. This weekend, we'll look at his front and back covers for Volume Two. Tom decided this one would reprint issue numbers 261-295 of the 'Tec back-ups. Based on that, I culled advertising copy from various second Archives editions* to create the material below.
*If you're curious, it was the second Adam Strange and Atom, plus Aquaman Vol. 1. Also what's with all the foes with "human" in their name? Does J'onn secretly hate humanity after all?

Great job with the solicitation, but I have to make a couple of corrections: it's 240 pages, not 233, and the Foreword is once again by our pal Wade Greenberg.
