Actually, I must confess that I lied a little in my subject  line.   This
isn't a story ABOUT MARS, but is a story TOLD by the MARS author.

You  see the writer of MARS was at Geppies of Silver Spring on a promotion
tour.  He informed me that once he was on a comic panel with various people
including  the author of WARP.  Since this was a typical panel, all of the
fans wanted to hear about "Spidey" or The inedible Bulk, not from  someone
that wrote a comic with a wierd name.  The moderator took pity on the WARP
author and said, "You know, I have always wondered, do you think  of  the
WARP  characters as superheros?"  The WARP author (you'd never know that I
can't remember his name, would you) speaks very  slowly,  and  with  many
pauses.  "Well," said he, "I have always been a superhero lover..." After a
terrible pause, Mark and Marc (of MARS "fame") looked at one  another  and
said "What a man!"

                         Maybe you HAD to be there.
