Comment(s):
- Issues 61 through 67 of this title are mostly retelling of origins of the major players in All-Star Squadron. This is a retelling of the origin of Johnny Quick with new details, told for John Law's book on the Mystery Men of World War II. It is presumed that John (Tarantula) Law is present during Johnny Chambers' relating of his origins, but Law is unseen during this issue.
- This story reveals that the Johnny Quick stories of his adventures shown before More Fun Comics #71 are figments of Johnny Chambers' imagination.
- This issue also contains a publishing history of Johnny Quick and a 1 pg pin-up by Jerry Ordway.
