Trivia · 8 facts

First and only appearance of Johnny Dune, a Black Vietnam veteran with a mutant power to control people through his voice, created by writer Mike Friedrich and artist Dick Dillin.
Johnny Dune is cited as possibly only the second DC character to be explicitly designated a mutant, after Captain Comet.
The lead story, 'The Private War of Johnny Dune!', was scripted by Mike Friedrich with pencils by Dick Dillin and inks by Joe Giella.
Cover was penciled by Neal Adams and inked by Murphy Anderson; the featured heroes on the cover are Batman, Green Arrow, Superman, Green Lantern, Black Canary, and the Atom.
Contains a reprint of the origin of Dr. Mid-Nite from All-American Comics #25 (1941), written by Charles Reizenstein and drawn by Stan Aschmeier.
Contains a reprint of the origin of Dr. Fate from More Fun Comics #67 (1941), written by Gardner Fox and drawn by Howard Sherman.
The malfunctioning JLA teleporter subplot, introduced here (with Flash, Green Lantern, and Hawkman displaced to the planet Rann via an intercepted Zeta-beam), was the narrative thread that led directly into Friedrich's three-issue Starbreaker arc beginning in JLA #96 — the first multi-part saga in the title's history.
Published under the editorship of Julius Schwartz; credits for interior pencils and inks were confirmed from Schwartz's own editorial records, as documented by the Grand Comics Database.
