Notes

• This issue is the first appearance of the Huntress. The Huntress will soon become a member of the Justice Society of America and an associate of Infinity, Inc. She appears next in All-Star Comics #69 (published concurrently with this issue). All-Star Comics #69 is sometimes credited as Huntress' first appearance, but she actually appears for the first time in this issue.

• This issue reveals the death of the Earth-Two Catwoman. Chronologically, she appeared last in Brave and the Bold (Volume 1) #197 in a storyline that took place in 1955.

• Flash (Jay Garrick) and Flash (Barry Allen) only appear as cameo headshots used to describe the differences between Earth-One and Earth-Two.

• This issue includes a one-page Huntress concept sketch by artist Joe Staton. The sketech precedes Huntress' own story in this issue.

• The Huntress story from this issue is reprinted in The Huntress: Darknight Daughter trade paperback.
