Notes
- "The Confessions of a Martian" features green-skinned Martians; however they don't show any of Martian Manhunter powers, thus are cataloged here as Martians (generic species). The story implies the Martians will strike while you sit and stare, then prepare the defenses for Earth before it's too late.
- "The Last Man and Woman": "17,621 HB" refers to "Holocene Calendar," a hypothetical calendar proposed to start with the beginning of the Holocene epoch, around 10,000 BCE.
- "The Vampire World": Rhodesia, known initially as Zambesia, is a historical region in southern Africa whose formal boundaries evolved between the 1890s and 1980. Demarcated and named by the British South Africa Company (BSAC), which governed it until the 1920s, it thereafter saw administration by various authorities. It was bisected by a natural border, the Zambezi. The territory to the north of the Zambezi was officially designated Northern Rhodesia by the company, and has been Zambia since 1964; that to the south, which the company dubbed Southern Rhodesia, became Zimbabwe in 1980.
