Notes

Footnotes try to establish continuity with Earth-One.^[1] What ends up happening is that fans designate SuperFriends universe either Earth-1A or Earth-B.
Writer E. Nelson Bridwell makes it very clear that the SuperFriends are sort of a volunteer organization, under the umbrella of the Justice League of America.
Bridwell also takes the time to explain that Robin is not a Justice League member.
In the letters column of this issue, Bridwell explains that Marvin White is the son of Daniel White and Diana Prince White (the nurse whose name Wonder Woman took when she came to Man's World), and Wendy Harris is the niece of Harvey Harris, old mentor to the Batman.
Bridwell also explains in the letters column of this issue, that Wendy may have been the Earth-One (actually Earth-1A) version of the Earth-Two character, Wendi Harris Tyler, wife of the first Hourman.
The Toyman seen in this issue is Winslow Schott, whereas the character depicted in the continuity of the cartoon was believed to be Jack Nimball, the second Toyman.
