A few weird continuity standpoints for two panels:
- The All-Star story's premise has the JSA put in suspended animation for a year, which should've made a hash of their secret identities (or Wonder Woman's solo book), but continuity back then was loose anyway...
- The All-Star story's premise has the JSA put in suspended animation for a year, which should've made a hash of their secret identities (or Wonder Woman's solo book), but continuity back then was loose anyway...
...maybe why the story's only been referenced once (in "America vs. the Justice Society," by Roy Thomas of course).
- The trip to the 31st century to fight Chameleons seems weird post-Crisis with all the heroes on one Earth, assuming it still happened. Given the Legion of Super-Heroes and all?
The McCarthyism panel seemed appropriate given current events.
For those unaware, the JSA retired in 1951 (the year "All Star Comics" was canceled) due to such: a congressional committee insists on the JSAers revealing their secret identities for "reasons"; the JSA refused and promptly retired.
