Editing Man from Atlantis (section)

==Adaptations==
In 1977, [[Dell Publishing]] published a novelization titled ''Man from Atlantis'' #1, written by Richard Woodley, which was followed by ''Man from Atlantis'' #2: "Death Scouts" from the same author. The line continued unnumbered with ''Killer Spores'' (1977) and ''Ark of Doom'' (1978), also by Woodley, the latter being the retitled novelization of "The Disappearances".<ref name="novel"/> In 1978, [[Marvel Comics]] published seven issues of a ''Man from Atlantis'' [[comic book]], written by [[Bill Mantlo]] with art by [[Frank Robbins]] and [[Frank Springer]].<ref name="comic1"/> At the same time as ''Marvel'', the British children's magazine ''[[Look-In]]'' began publishing a comic strip; this one was drawn by Mike Noble (and later John Cooper for one story). It was short-lived, lasting less than a year before being replaced with [[Enid Blyton]]'s ''[[The Famous Five (novel series)|Famous Five]]''.<ref name="comic2" /> [[Kenner Toys]] began development on a ''Man from Atlantis'' line of [[action figure]]s and toy vehicles in 1977, but it never proceeded past the prototype stage,<ref name="toys"/> while [[Denys Fisher]] Toys passed on making ''Star Wars'' action figures for the UK as they thought the ''Man from Atlantis'' would be more successful.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c7nq|title = Toy Empire: The British Force Behind Star Wars Toys |publisher=[[BBC One]]}}</ref>

{{Blockquote|When TV unveiled the series ''Man from Atlantis'', no one knew the how, where and why of Mark Harris. Over time the show's star, Patrick Duffy, formulated his own version of the history of Mark and his people. Here at last is the book that gives every reader and fan of the show the life and mythology of Atlantis, who they were and where they came from. Patrick Duffy's close connection to his fictional character makes this a behind the scenes fantasy story.}}
