Indexer Notes

Second instance of a parallel universe in DC Comics; the first was Wonder Woman (DC, 1942 series) #59. The villain in this story is not named, but he does note that on his world, "crime-- not justice-- triumphs," similar to the world of the Crime Syndicate of Earth-3, introduced in Justice League of America (DC, 1960 series) #29 (August 1964).
