Scripter Gardner Fox reports writing this story originally for All-Star #36. Solomon Grundy's first post-1940's appearance will be in Showcase #55 (March-April 1965), also written by Fox, and it's 2nd page is a Murphy Anderson re-drawing of Hasen's Page B from this issue. That story picks up right where this story leaves off, ignoring Grundy's appearance in Comic Cavalcade #24. Roy Thomas later reconciles these two conflicting accounts in All-Star Squadron #3 (November 1981).

We formerly credited in error Gaspar Saladino (who was in service at the time) with the letters on the main story.

Meanwhile, at JSA HQ, the Lantern stands alone and hears a knock on the door, opens it and explains, "You!" Much later, the other JSA members arrive and discover the HQ ripped apart, with a large muddy footprint on the floor. Johnny turns on the radio, which reports Solomon Grundy is on the loose, seen at various towns. The JSA puts the pieces together, and, leaving Wonder Woman behind to gather news, the rest leave to find Grundy.
