Comment(s):
- This story takes place shortly after the first official adventure of the Justice League (Brave and Bold Vol. 1 #28)
- The origin of Doctor Light given in DC Super-Stars #14/3 may or may not still be in continuity, but is not contradicted by this story. If so, Arthur Smith/Light appears there before this story.
