Comment(s):

Story continues from the last issue and into All-Star Comics #3,

This story takes place in Summer 1940, probably late July or early August.

Chronological analysis of these six issues presents several issues with both Pre- and Post-Crisis continuities and with character histories.

The appearance of Queen Hippolyta as Wonder Woman has been established as canon, but this is much earlier than her established debut. She returns to Themyscira/Paradise Island and returns to Man's World circa April, 1941.

Atom's appearance is earlier than it has been shown to be (September/October, 1940). This is not a huge problem as it could have been earlier (probably late 1939/early 1940).

Amazing-Man's appearance here is difficult to reconcile with his established origins. His appearance here may be apocryphal.

Likewise, the too-early appearances of Sportsmaster and Huntress/Tigress may not be canon. The appearance of the criminal Huntress/Tigress (nearly two years early!) is totally contrary to her established history.

Part of this may be explained as transcription "error" and embellishment by the probable author (Johnny Thunder) of the journal being read by the newest Kid Eternity. Future references to this story will establish how much is truth and what is fiction.
