Comment(s):

Even though the stories about Sandman and Sandy's eventual reconciliation and Sandy's reversion to human form were published years after this story, due to the events of the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Sandy may be considered a replacement for the Earth-Two Robin in the early issues of All-Star Comics revival as the Super-Squad.
A post-Crisis version of this story was recounted in Countdown #45/2 (August 2007 [June 20]): "History of the Multiverse, Chapter Five"
