Notes

  • This is a double-sized final issue.
  • "Flash of Two Worlds" is a Post-Crisis revamp of the story from The Flash #123.
  • Black Canary: "Unfinished Business" is reprinted in Tales of the Batman: Alan Brennert.
    • This story is a revamp of the Black Canary origin, establishing she and her mother as two (really) different people; In Pre-Crisis, her personal story is much more complicated.[1]
    • Black Canary (Dinah Drake Lance) dies in this story.
    • Ted Grant reveals having had a kid who was kidnapped by Yellow Wasp (named Golden Wasp in this story).
    • This story provides a different explanation for the Canary's Cry: mystical influence of Green Lantern's ring and Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt (according with Dr. Fate). In Pre-Crisis, this power was actually a curse summoned by Wizard.
    • There is a flashback on page 79 of an illustration of the first encounter between the JLA and JSA in Justice League of America #21. However, there is a small rearrangement of the position and presence of characters: Absent: Dr. Fate, Wonder Woman (who had not came to Man's World at this point of time) and Superman (who wasn't an active JLA member Post-Crisis); Present: the two Flashes, the two Black Canaries (instead only one) and Dr. Mid-Nite; Kept: Green Arrow (bearded instead), Batman, Martian Manhunter, Golden Age Hawkman, Hourman, the Green Lanterns and the Atoms. At this point in time, it is not clear whether the adventure against the Crime Champions is valid Post-Crisis.
    • This story cites a period almost 10 years after the dissolution of the JSA in which Alan Scott temporarily left his retreat in order to try to apprehend the Reaper; Dinah's infancy around "magic uncles and aunts"; and how young Dinah trained in martial arts with Ted Grant, formerly known as Wildcat.

Trivia

  • The table of contents titles the Johnny Thunder story "Fountainhead!" The town the old west hero visits is actually called "Fortunehead."
