Comments:
Pages 12-18 of this story reveal that the majority of the events, taking place concurrently with All-Star Comics #11, occur only in the minds of the JSA, under the influence of Brain Wave.

This story, which takes place in early February, 1942 is continued in part from All-Star Squadron #18 and continues in All-Star Squadron #20.

Synopsis:
Brain Wave lures the All-Star Squadron to the New York World’s Fairgrounds and reveals the JSA has been captured. The JSA sleeps, while Brain Wave causes them to dream of attacking the Japanese military. The villain then turns the dreams against the incarcerated heroes. Each member dreams his own death, mentally draining their will to live.
