Multi-paneled cover; each character is pictured separately, with no interaction. The Adam Strange figure comes from a cover done for a never-launched title to feature Plastic Man and Adam Strange when DC cancelled plans for the Five-Star Super-Hero Spectacular dollar comic, leaving new TV star Plastic Man without a home, before his feature was placed in the newly standard-size Adventure Comics, and the Adam Strange feature went into limbo.
