This story is the final one in which the All-Star Squadron actively participates, and it is also the final pre-Crisis All-Star Squadron story. Young All Stars #1 continues from where this story leaves off.
Trivia: Mekanique admits by first time that she came from a future era that resembles Fritz Lang's film Metropolis. Excerpts from the film can be seen in flashback, as Mekanique explains her origin.
As an interesting example of how Crisis On Infinite Earths has eliminated the Golden Age versions of certain main duplicate superheroes of the present age, Johnny Quick has a picture taken of all known All-Star Squadron members minus the Freedom Fighters who pre-Crisis have gone off to Earth-X. When it was originally taken, the Golden Age versions of Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and Speedy appear in it. By the time the developed picture reaches President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the Golden Age versions of said characters (except for Green Arrow and Speedy, who were mistakenly left in the picture) were removed, replaced by various figures of Uncle Sam's Freedom Fighters. |
