Comments:
Dr. Fate does not participate in this story.

The JSA members are sent to planets within the solar system, but as revealed in All-Star Squadron #50, the arrival of Harbinger in 1942 causes the JSA rockets to be sent into Hyper-Space and thus alternate dimensions. This explains how life exists on each of the planets.

As revealed in All-Star Squadron #50, the Nazis receive their advanced rockets used in this story from the Monitor.

This story, which takes place between April 1 and April 12, 1942, was adapted and serialized beginning in All-Star Squadron #50. Pages 1-5 are retold on pages 1-10 of All-Star Squadron #50; Hawkman’s chapter is retold in All-Star Squadron #52; Sandman in All-Star Squadron #55; Dr. Mid-Nite in All-Star Squadron #56; Starman, Atom, and Wonder Woman in All-Star Squadron #57; Johnny Thunder in All-Star Squadron #58; Spectre in All-Star Squadron #59; and the conclusion in All-Star Squadron #60. All JSA appearances in those issues occur concurrently with their appearances here.
