- "The Strange Experiment of Dr. Erdel" is also reprinted in World's Finest Comics #175, World's Finest Comics #226, Secret Origins (Volume 1) #1 and Secret Origins Special Giant Issue #1.
- Batman appeared last in Detective Comics #224. He appears next in World's Finest Comics #79.

- Originally, Doctor Saul Erdel was shown to have died in this issue. However, Martian Manhunter (Volume 1) #2 reveals that had faked his death following the events from this issue, and continues to live out of his small cabin in Colorado.
- Martian Manhunter (Volume 1) #3 shows that the Martian Manhunter arrived on this world carrying the body of his dead daughter K'hym in his arms. The inclusion of K'hym into the Manhunter's origin is a retcon and was never part of the original origin story. Later revisions of J'onn's orign suggest that K'hym actually remained on Mars after she died, and never accompanied J'onn to Earth at all.
Trivia
- Although the Flash (Barry Allen) is generally accepted as the first Silver Age DC Comics character, the Martian Manhunter actually precedes the first appearance of the Flash by almost a year.
