Date given above is based on Johnny Quick's thoughts on page 1: “Nearly a week off – from the All-Star Squadron anyway.” So it's 30 Jan 1942, at the earliest.
Justice Society members are still in the Army at this time.
The JSA's HQ at this time is a suite of rented rooms on the top floor of a 9-story hotel.
Even after adopting his purple-and-yellow costume, in Adventure Comics #69, Sandman continued wearing a cape in Adventure Comics #70.
Chapter Two: “The Secret Origin of the Tarantula”
Tarantula's costumed career began on 22 June 1941, according to the headline of the newspaper in his flashback. As Tarantual recalls it, Sandman's career started “right on the heels of the Batman, a couple of years back.”
Tarantula's costume was sewn by Olga, Jonathan Law's housekeeper.
It later turns out that Dian Belmont wasn't quite killed after all.
Fairy Tales Fenton's original “Thor” hammer was considered “a mechano-electrical marvel,” but his new one was much more formidable. It returned to his hand when thrown, for one thing. |
