While this is marked as Lars of Mars # 10 and the next issue #11 they are really numbers 1 and 2 of the short lived series with Ziff-Davis starting the numbering at 10, which was a common practice with them. (they did the same with another two issue comic at the time by the title of Alice `in Wonderland.')

After the first hydrogen bomb is exploded, a worried Grand Council of Mars sends Lars “Mars’ most daring adventure” to Earth to preserve interplanetary peace.

His ship however has engine trouble before he can get to the UN and he just manages to escape with his life.

Flying by rocket pack to the nearest town Lars sees a woman who looks as if she is being attacked by robots. Defeating the robots easily Lars is shocked when he finds the robots are really stunt-men testing out robot suits.

With his ship destroyed Lars knows it will now be difficult to convince the governments of Earth who is, fortune however has smiled on Lars when, using his telepathy to learn her langue, Lars also finds that the woman he has “saved” is Jane Conway a television producer who is about to start a television series about a man from Mars.

Jane believes Lars is just an actor however she is impressed and convinces Lars to take the role of the man from Mars on her television program. Lars then divides this time between acting and fighting evil.
