NotesInspired from Super Friends TV cartoon series in 1970's. Television production company Hanna-Barbera adapted the Justice League model and re-imagined the team for the 1973 Super Friends animated series. Prologue: "Wendy & Marvin Meet the JLA" Reprinted Issues: 1st story: "Justice League of America Vol 1 #61, March, 1968; Operation: Jail the Justice League!" 2nd story:Justice League of America Vol 1 #36, June, 1965; The Case of the Disabled Justice League. Trivia: Toth's cover art was later re-used as the letter column header for the Super Friends (Volume 1) regular comic. Superman's face on the cover is a paste-up of a Curt Swan/George Klein drawing. "Wendy & Marvin Meet the JLA" is a framing story that wraps around the other stories in the issue. It is untitled in this issue; the title presented here comes from Super Friends!.
