Notes

• The Clash of Cape and Cowl was originally published as an imaginary story, a story outside of regular continuity. In Crisis on Infinite Earths: The Compendium, it was retconned as having happened on another Earth, .

• Many years later, in Absolute Crisis on Infinite Earths (2006), it was revealed that this story was not imaginary, and actually happened -- on Earth-153.
• Also appearing in this issue of World's Finest:
  • "The Boy Who Changed the Future" (6 page story) (reprinted from Strange Adventures #21, June 1952), by John Broome, Robert Oksner, and Bernard Sachs
