Comments: Nearly all of the participants in this issue are cameo appearances in two photographs taken during the events of this issue.
On Pg. 16, we are shown a photograph of the Pre-Crisis membership of the All-Star Squadron, including Superman, Batman and Robin, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow and Speedy. This is the final Pre-Crisis appearance for any Earth-Two charater.
On Pg. 22, President Roosevelt is shown the same photograph of the All-Star Squadron with its Post-Crisis line-up. Missing are the above five heroes, and included are several of the heroes previously shown to have emmigrated to Earth-X. This is the first Post-Crisis appearance of these heroes on the now-lone DC Universe Earth.
