Notes: This story takes place on Earth-2, pre-Crisis. This story contains several errors. 1. Hawkman is not shown wearing his original full-face mask, but the later version showing the lower half of his face. 2. Green Lantern is shown smashing a wooden gate with his power ring. 3. Also he wears his post-war tight fitting tunic, not the loose fitting one he wore at the time. 4. The Sandman is seen using sand to knock out criminals instead of a gas-gun.
