Notes
- This issue is reprinted in All-Star Archives, Volume 0.
- The first two issues of this series serve as an anthology title spotlighting various costumed heroes and adventurers in individual stories. With All-Star Comics Vol 1 3, the format changes, merging eight super-heroes into a shared continuity where they band together as the Justice Society of America. Prior to that issue, the individual characters are regarded as operating within their own insular continuity separate from that of everyone else.
- This issue includes a Gary Concord story entitled, "The European War in 2240" by Jon L. Blummer. Jon L. Blummer is credited as Don Selby in this issue.
- This issue also includes a Biff Bronson story entitled, "Remembo" by Albert and Joseph Sulman.
- The Flash appeared last in Flash Comics #7. He chronologically appears next in the first flashback story from All-Star Comics #3.
- Hawkman appeared last in Flash Comics #7. He appears next in Flash Comics #8.
- Hourman appeared last in New York World's Fair Comics #2. He appears next in Adventure Comics #52.
- The Sandman appeared last in New York World's Fair Comics #2. He appears next in Adventure Comics #52.
- The Spectre appeared last in More Fun Comics #56. He appears next in More Fun Comics #57.
- Only Golden Age appearance of Trygg the sorcerer. Trygg doesn't appear again until Hawkman Vol 5 #35.
