Comment(s):
- Story takes place on Wednesday, April 1, 1942 and is a retelling of All-Star Comics #13 (October-November 1942) "Shanghaied into Space!" The story continues next issue.
- Due to the effects of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, the histories of some of the characters listed -if not the characters themselves - were removed from continuity.
Solicitation:
- Eight JSA members are captured and shot into space in eight separate rockets--but the sudden appearance of Harbinger sends them all to eight separate dimensions!
