“The Plight of a Nation! [Part 1]”

In "The Plight of a Nation! [Part 1]," the Justice Society of America faces a dual threat as the Crimson Claw's gang orchestrates chaos while their Junior Claws cause mayhem in the streets. With the Flash tracking Eddie to the gang's headquarters and Wonder Woman's mental radio summoning the JSA, tension builds as the team races to intervene. Written by John Broome and illustrated with sharp precision by Alex Toth, this dynamic tale blends action and moral urgency, while Carmine Infantino's cover captures the stakes in bold, classic style.

The Flash trails Eddie to the Crimson Claw's HQ, then uses Wonder Woman's mental radio to alert the rest of the JSA to its location while he attempts to keep the gang busy until they arrive. At the same time, the Junior Claws are damaging property to blame it on a rival gang, and an explosion draws authorities while the adult gang commits a crime. But the JSA is on hand to round them up. The JJSA and Julia save Don's life, then duke it out with the Junior Claws. But Wonder Woman steps in with the Magic Sphere to reveal the future of the juveniles, which encourages them to reform.
