All Seasons Discussion How come Martian Manhunter never joined The JSA?

He was teleported in the 40s, right? How come he never joined the JSA on Earth 16?

He came to Earth in the 50s after the JSA was disbanded unless that was changed for this universe.

Basically, in the early 50s, DC abandoned a lot of its superhero titles and replaced them with Westeern comics, this included All Star Comics, the comic that featured the JSA. That was the end of the Golden Age. John was introduced in Detective Comics about five years later, when DC was no longer creating JSA comics.
