Owner's Description
Issue #47 continues the story from Issue #46 and features a JSA crossover and appearances by Solomon Grundy and Blockbuster.
As the Spectre uses all his power to keep both Earth-One and Earth-Two from crashing into each other as a result of the Anti-Matter Man's travels, the JLA and JSA members on Earth-One and Two recuperate after their battles against Blockbuster and Solomon Grundy. However, the space warp cause Solomon Grundy and Blockbuster to transport back to their original Earths. This time forcing Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkman, Black Canary and Dr. Mid-Nite to fight Blockbuster on Earth-One, and Batman, Dr. Fate, Sandman, and Wildcat to battle Solomon Grundy on Earth-Two.
Warned by his crystal that something is amiss, Dr. Fate transports the JLA and JSA members to the warp between two worlds to attack the Anti-Matter Man, but their efforts have no effect. Meanwhile finally left alone and able to become the Atom, Ray Palmer realizes that his lab assistants cosmic-scanning device was the catalyst that caused the Anti-Matter Man to attempt to travel into the positive matter universe.
Traveling to the cosmic rift, the Atom uses his scientific knowledge in conjunction with the Spectre's magic to break the warp, shunting the Anti-Matter Man back to his Antimatter universe and restoring order to both Earths. Returning to Earth, the group finds that, while they were battling the Anti-Matter Man, Green Lantern transported Solomon Grundy and Blockbuster to the same Earth, where they have been battling each other since they were pulled away. They arrive just in time to see the two suddenly stop fighting and become friends, and decide to return to their own Earth's peacefully to be returned to custody.
Our 9.8 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection and is the single highest graded copy in the CGC census. Our book was originally acquired by a friend in a 2009 Heritage auction. I acquired the book, along with a group of JLAs from him in a private transaction in 2019.
2020 Update: I’m not sure if I made a mistake above or not, but at least as of June 2020, our copy is no longer the single highest graded, but one of three 9.8s in the census. It’s still at least the Pacific Coast copy, so there is no better.
2021 Update: I’m not sure what to make of the population explosion on this one, but there are now five 9.8s in the census.
