Notes
- 1971, in the first story, represents the future for the year in which this issue was published, in a similar form to Earth-54. The Martians here are three-eyed, cat-eared green beings, without relation with the mainstream Martians.
- The Zeta-Ray in the second story has different properties than Rann.
Trivia
- When, in the first story, the Earth astronauts are wearing nasal oxygen capsules in order to breath the Mars atmosphere, they do not protect their heads against other harsh Martian conditions. This may be a lack of scientific knowledge available at the time, or a lack of knowledge by the story writer.
