Trivia
- The Ray back-up feature begins with the Ray awakening after being left for dead by villains Silver Ghost, Quakemaster and Killer Moth. This story arc was meant to occur in the stories "Murder Times Seven" and "Death in Silver" originally slated for publication as Secret Society of Super-Villains #16 and #17 respectively prior to the 1978 DC Implosion. They were ultimately "published" in Cancelled Comic Cavalcade Vol 1 2.
- The story intended for the unpublished Black Lightning #12 was published in World's Finest #260. Black Lightning would eventually continue in the back pages of Detective Comics.
