Synopsis

Snapper Carr creates a fictional story in which the JLA faces the unstoppable menace of Anakronis, and it's up to them to figure out how to defeat him.

Notes

Credits for pencils and inks confirmed from Julius Schwartz's editorial records, provided by DC Comics (May 2007). Records show only Wein for script. Previously, there was a credit for "Paul Levitz [as Felton Marcus]" for writer; however, Paul, in an interview with Rik Offenberger published at ComicsBulletin on August 20, 2003, denies that he is Felton Marcus, saying instead that it is a pseudonym of Mark Hanerfeld. The printed credit reads "STORY BY: LEN WEIN, AIDED & ABETTED BY: FELTON MARCUS". (added 2009-09-10 by Allen Ross). Colors credit from Carl Gafford via the GCD Error Tracker, July 2010.
