Owner's Description
In Issue #37, Johnny Thunder travels to Earth-One where he meets his Earth-One counterpart who is a petty crook. Before Johnny can do anything, his evil counterpart knocks him out and has the Thunderbolt commit crimes for him. When the Flash stops the Thunderbolt's crime spree, Earth-One Johnny orders the Thunderbolt to go back in time and prevent the creation of the members of the Justice League from becoming super heroes. In preventing the Justice League members from ever getting their powers creates a new universe which Johnny dubs Earth-A (For "Alternate"). While on Earth-Two, the Justice Society begins to worry about Johnny being late for their meeting. Using his crystal ball, Dr. Fate locates Johnny on Earth-A, prompting the JSA to go there. There they battle Earth-One Johnny and the Thunderbolt, Johnny order the Thunderbolt to kick the JSA out of that reality. Returning to Earth-One, the JSA wonder where the Justice League is and begin to learn the truth. Deciding to setup a base in the location of where the Justice Leagues headquarters would have been, the JSA decides to take on the guise of various Justice League members to confuse Johnny. To that end, Dr. Fate appears as Superman, Mr. Terrific as Batman, Hawkman as the Martian Manhunter, and Flash, Atom, and Green Lantern disguise themselves as their Earth-One counterparts. Battling the Thunderbolt again, the JSA manage to confuse their opponents to gain the upper hand in battling the Thunderbolt. Johnny and the Thunderbolt retreats, and begins his next idea: Breaking his best men out of the prison, he has the Thunderbolt take them back in time and gain the powers of the Justice League. Creating his own evil-versions of Superman, Batman, Martian Manhunter, Flash, Atom, and Green Lantern. Having the Thunderbolt change the JSA back to their original forms, he challenges them to defeat his Lawless League.
Our WP 9.8 comes from the Pacific Coast Collection and is one of six highest graded. We acquired it in a swap of the Northland copy, also a 9.8, with a friend and fellow collector in March 2021, primarily because it gave us a mini-run of three Pacific Coast books, all highest graded examples. Also, while not single highest graded by any means, I think it’s safe to say that, with WP and the PC Pedigree, this is the best existing copy of Issue #37.
