In spite of the overly wordy cover, this image marks the first of a too-brief run of really good covers, this one by Neal Adams.
Dr. Fate's recent cameo (even though he turned out to be a villain then) must have inspired this early actual team. I remember being put out that Wein portrays Fate as a surgeon rather than the archaeologist he was in reprints and historical info. Turns out Len had latched on to a late period career switch in the original.
That and the panel below show that the writer was bringing something new to the mix in WF--continuity!
Yet another cameo by Zatanna.
Not quite as stupid as Marvel's Hercules towing Manhattan with NON-magical chains but still...! Len, what were you thinking?
I love this image of Superman!
This was probably the second time I had seen the Golden Age Robotman.
And definitely the first I had seen of the Ghost Patrol.
