Joe Gallagher’s great cover concept would be utilized by many other artists in many other fields. The JSA are seen dangling as puppets from the hands of an unseen menace. That menace would prove to be the Psycho-Pirate. He is so string a villain and character that he 9actually his successor), will become a central figure in the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Gallagher also contributes one of the best splash pages that the title has ever seen. The story is written by Gardner Fox. The pages are off-white. The unrestored book is CGC-certified 9.4 (NM). According to the CGC Census, this is the second highest-graded copy they have seen.
