Notes:
The cover figures are mostly taken from the cover of All-Star Comics #36, primarily rendered by Hasen. See the full cover reprint sequence below for details.
Notes:
Illustration taken from the splash page of All-Star Comics #36.
Notes:
Illustration taken from the introductory chapter of the story in All-Star Comics #35.
Notes:
Illustration taken from the Superman chapter of the story in All-Star Comics #36.
Notes:
This issue's roll call was photostatted and placed on All-Star #36's splash page. The name of Wonder Woman's mother Hippolyte is misspelled "Hypolite." Although this chapter recounts the fact that Professor Zee is the JSA's friend, he has not appeared in All-Star up to this point. In All-Star Squadron #2 (October 1981), Roy Thomas retroactively identifies Professor Zee as one of the scientists in All-Star Comics #10 and Degaton as one of their assistants. The story is primarily told via the Magic Sphere, informing them of the events and situations that they have totally forgotten due to Degaton's reversing of time.
Notes:
Degaton tells the three scientists that he was once an assistant to each of them.
Notes:
The cover was done by Irwin Hasen (as confirmed by Hasen to Dr. Jeff McLaughlin) using various source material. The figures of Green Lantern, Wonder Woman and Dr. Mid-Nite seem to be Hasen figures, the Flash figure seems to be a paste-up of a Lee Elias figure, Hawkman is a photostat or paste-up of a Joe Kubert figure, while Superman and Batman appear to be by Hasen, possibly re-touched by John Belfi to give them the look of those done by Wayne Boring and Win Mortimer.
Notes:
This is the second JSA story featuring Superman and Batman together since issue #7, where they had minor roles. The inset heads of the JSAers on page 1 are paste-ups by the heroes' solo artists (the same head shots of Flash, Hawkman, Green Lantern and Dr. Mid-Nite will be used on the Junior JSA certificate advertised beginning in All-Star #37). The prologue was probably re-written from the Fox script by Schwartz from what was intended to be an interlude found later in the issue, which accounts for it having no title, and displaced the real opening to the book, now found as the introduction, with the usual JSA meeting.
Notes:
The roll call found on the splash page was obviously photostatted from that found in All-Star #35, which featured Johnny Thunder and Atom. Clearly the introduction is a re-write and was perhaps drawn later than the prologue, possibly after it was decided to insert Superman and Batman.
Notes:
Batman substitutes for the Atom, suggesting that this chapter must have been originally written by Fox for the Atom, as Batman does nothing usually associated with him in his own adventures. The opening dialogue box ends with "The Mighty Batman," would could have very well been re-written from "The Mighty Atom!" Hasen did NOT entirely ink this chapter -- either a production staffer or another artist (probably John Belfi) touched up some of the Batman and Bruce Wayne figures to give them the look of the Batman artist of the time, Win Mortimer.
Notes:
Story editor Julius Schwartz recalls asking Bob Kanigher to re-write this chapter as it just didn't sit right with him, as confirmed by Julius Schwartz in a letter sent to Jerry Bails. It is strongly believed that this chapter was to be the lead-in for the prologue, as Mayer and Fox would have arranged it that way, but Schwartz decided to do the book differently, with the prologue coming first, so the Flash chapter HAD to be re-written.
Notes:
The Wonder Woman figure on the last page is a paste-up drawn by Irwin Hasen.
Notes:
The numbering on page 4 is totally different from that found on the first three pages, which may indicate that this chapter was originally five pages long and was cut down during the re-writing. The final tier on page four appears to be a crude re-inking and has different lettering than the top two tiers.
Notes:
Superman substitutes for Johnny Thunder, which indicates this chapter was most likely written for Johnny, whose Thunderbolt could have easily done the feats Superman did.
Notes:
During the time period that Fox may have written this story, the use of interludes in JSA tales was not all that uncommon. Even though this page is numbered "5," I believe the page was actually an interlude page to bridge the preceding chapters and Green Lantern's chapter. The page also features several unusual situations, one of which is that Wonder Woman does not cast a shadow on the wall, nor the table between her and Hawkman. In addition, Hawkman's right wing has no shadow and the left wing's shape does not match the shadow on the wall, nor does Hawkman's helmet and wings. It is apparent that the Hawkman figure (most likely by Joe Kubert) was pasted onto the last panel over Hasen's original figure, even though the touch-up artist, whom I believe to be John Belfi, did not touch-up the helmeted head of Hawkman on the wall, which clearly shows Hasen's art. The wings on Hawkman have been re-touched, and are cut off by lots of black ink, which I believe blot out the shadows of Atom and Johnny Thunder on the wall, allowing easy insertion of Superman's and Batman's figures. For all these reasons, I believe that the last panel was part of the original story's art that was re-touched and figures added, and the page numbered from a lettered page.
Notes:
Another anomaly has this chapter beginning: "Who is the stuttering man...?" The reader has known all along as he was introduced in the prologue, which indicates that this opening panel of this chapter HAD to come later than the original placement of the prologue. It is believed that the prologue, latter part of the GL chapter, and page 5 of the Superman story were ALL part of the original long interlude Fox wrote, and Schwartz cut it up, pasted here and there and re-wrote panels of both the prologue and this chapter featuring Green Lantern to accommodate this change. The name of the college in Fox's original tale was Magnifica.

Notes:
The Chicago Globe Telegraph newspaper in panel 1, page 24 states that the paper was founded in 1801 and this issue is dated Saturday, October 25, 1947.
Notes:
Black Canary, after the adventure, is declared to be an "Honored Guest" of the JSA, with hopes that, one day, she will become a permanent member.
