The JSA becomes lost in hyperspace beginning in this story. They return in All-Star Squadron #60. Their enitre adventure including pages 1-10 of this story are adapted directly from All-Star Comics #13. This adpatation reveals that due to Harbinger’s arrival, the JSA actually travel to alternate dimensions, not actual planets as told in the original story.

This issue is an official Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.

The Quality heroes including: Phantom Lady, Plastic Man, Doll Man, Midnight, Jester, Human Bomb, the Blackhawks, Spider, and Manhunter (Dan Richards) are permanently transported to Earth-X to join the Freedom Fighters: Uncle Sam, Ray, and Black Condor.

This issue contains two single-page Golden Age Gallery pages featuring a reproduction of the cover splash from the second story of Justice League of America #193 with Starman replacing the Shining Knight and the cover of All-Star Squadron #1 with Starman replacing Captain Triumph by Rich Buckler and Jerry Ordway.

This story, which takes place on April 1, 1942, continues in All-Star Squadron #51.

Synopsis:
A Nazi engineer named Gootsden purchases eight space rockets from the Monitor. The Nazis then capture an equal number of Justice Society of America members. Each hero is placed in a different spaceship and rocketed to one of the eight other planets in the solar system. However, Harbinger’s arrival on 1942 Earth-Two warps the space-time continuum, and causes the eight ships to enter hyper-space and land on solar planets far different from those of the Earth-Two universe.

Harbinger confronts Danette (Firebrand) Reilly and attempts to bring her back to 1985 Earth-One, but energies resulting from the activation of Gootsden’s rocket apparatus in Berlin prevents Harbinger from returning to the present. In retaliation, she transmits waves of force back through the device—force that electrocutes the Nazi criminals and prermanently transports Steel, the Indestructible Man (on the scene in Berlin) to Earth-One.

Green Lantern, Johnny Quick, and Liberty Belle catch up to Harbinger and Firebrand in time to see them vanish into an energy vortex, and attempt to follow them only to be deposited on 1942 Earth-S.
