All their faces, in that panel, remind me of these masks...

Hee, that's quite a goof on the artist's part!
Jason looks like he's smitten with Princess' new uniform, though. Maybe that's why Mark has her fire the missiles -Jason is too distracted...

That mask is frightening.

Oh my, those masks! They are scary! But you're right, there definitely is a resemblance!
Hmmm... those masks came form France, and the comics from the UK... the 2 countries are practically neighbors... coincidence?

Okay, we start a new story, and get to see some of the civvies! At least Princess is back to black hair.
And LB, I think there's another 'Freudian Slip Typo' for you to take advantage of in this one...

Oh, I can't take that! 
Too many horrible, horrible possibilities come to mind!

Scary, innit? Yet, I can see why they might make that mistake. In high tech vehicles, armaments, etc., often a 'version' is called a 'Mark'. Like, 'Spaceship Mark I', 'Bird Missile Mark III', etc.
Not that it doesn't conjure up scary images to have Zark calling himself Mark!!!!

The first thing that popped into my head was an unspeakably vile fusion of Mark and Zark!

Well, until that point, this set isn't as bad as some of the others.
Though, I do wonder why they insist on giving Jason dark hair (at least it isn't blue, didn't Gold Key give him blue at one time?) and why is he the only one to get his number on the back of his shirt (Keyop and Princess don't have it)?
Is it to remind us that it is Jason instead of Mark (really, if they give him lighter hair, that wouldn't be necessary)? Or to highlight the "Number Two" complex that we love to exploit?

I suspect it's so that readers don't get confused between Jason and Mark. After all, everyone is drawn so badly you might not know which guy was which!
Notice that Keyop's civvies outflit looks like Jinpei's Gatch II/F civvies? And Princess' shirt bears a strong resemblance to Jun's Gatch II/F civvies, plus she's wearing capris like G3 does in those series as well.

I didn't catch the 7 Mark 7 typo until it was pointed out to me and Jason just isn't Jason with dark hair.
