There are a lot of different versions of Jetter Mars Manga, including the Televiland Comics Issue, the Televi-Magazine Issue, the Adventure King Manga Magazine Issue, and the Middle Age Magazine issue. In most anime a manga book is published first before being adapted into a cartoon, however, in the case of Jetter Mars (ジェッターマルス Jettā Marusu), the anime series was adapted into a few manga issues published as one-shot stories, based on the storylines shown in the anime. They weren't written or illustrated by Osamu Tezuka, but by various licensed artists. The manga was published in 1977.
