Storyline

The JSA's members are captured by future foes they have yet to meet, given they are from circa 1947, and led by an unknown menace. Only Hawkman, Atom, and Dr. Mid-Nite escape capture, thanks, in part, to Robotman's appearance. Meanwhile, FDR is worried at the White House, as he's been unable to contact the JSA, so they can stop the bombing of Pearl Harbor by the Japanese on December 7, 1941.

Part of the special insert between pages 12 and 13 of the main story. The story continues in All-Star Squadron (DC, 1981 series) #1. The Seven Soldiers of Victory are explicitly named the Law's Legionnaires. An editor's note says "Later known as the Seven Soldiers of Victory", however this is misleading. The implication is that the team's name was originally the Law's Legionnaires, yet the only time that name was ever used in their original Golden Age adventures was on the cover of Leading Comics (DC, 1941 series) #4 (Fall 1942).
