Where it came from
All-Star Squadron was launched by DC Comics in 1981 under the guidance of writer Roy Thomas. The series was designed to explore the history of the Justice Society of America and other Golden Age heroes during World War II, effectively bridging gaps in DC continuity. Issue number 42, published in 1985, fits into the later period of the series, which was heavily influenced by the internal logic of the Earth-Two alternate dimension concept.
The art and narrative direction of the series were deeply rooted in Roy Thomas's reverence for classic comic book aesthetics. By placing these characters in a historical wartime context, the creators aimed to create a 'period piece' feel that felt authentic to the 1940s while appealing to modern readers of the mid-eighties. The title received moderate praise for its dense research and its ambitious attempt to provide a cohesive timeline for DC's expansive roster of characters.
