I never tire of this "class photo" of the Silver Age-version of the Justice Society of America by Murphy Anderson.
This was when the JSA was still respected by DC Comics. Things went downhill for the group after Crisis On Infinite Earths, when some members (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Robin) were erased from existence. DC then decided to remove most of the remaining members completely from the DC Universe with The Last Days of the Justice Society (1986).
The team was rescued from Limbo in Armageddon: Inferno (1991), but fans didn't get to celebrate long. During Zero Hour (1994) many of its members were killed off or aged to the point of incapacitation.
Of the members pictured above only Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott) and Wildcat are still active. Red Tornado 2 (the android, John Smith) has been retconned many, many times, but I believe in current continuity he/it was never a member of the JSA, but active with the Justice League.

We Thought You Died?!
Billy became a hero in 1959, and he was a hit. He was extremely popular. Captain Marvel was a beloved hero. As for the Squadron of Justice? They were beloved too. They, plus Captain Marvel were the superheroes of that time. They were the flipping blueprint for being a hero, especially Captain Marvel. Then the bubble formed in 62, and they just disappeared off the face of the earth and everyone thought he died.
Then, out of nowhere, they just reappeared.
News channel: *showing a clip of Marvel*
Grandson: *tugs on Grandma’s sleeve* “Grandma, that looks like the hero guy the teacher are making us learn about.”
Grandma: “Amazing. He looks just like the real thing.”
Yeah… People didn’t really believe it at first. Though, to be fair, all the Fawcett heroes have been gone for over sixty years.
Old Man: “It’s disrespectful is it what is. Just because you have the same powers doesn’t mean you can dress up as a dead hero.”
Old Woman: “ I just feel bad for the families. To see someone dress up as your dead husband or wife and then go around pretending to be them? Disgraceful.”
It was then the Justice League got involved. They really couldn’t have these people running around like this. Not only that, but some of the imposters are lethal. Not to mention that there are people in the Justice League who used to know the Fawcett heroes. They were friends with them for Christ’s sake. So that’s why unanimously, they went and confronted these guys.
Supes: *hovering over Fawcett*
Marvel: *helps a cat out of a tree and sees him so he flies up*
Supes: *disapproving look* “I hope you know that if you’re trying to be a her—”
Marvel: “Oh my gods, your suit is awesome!”
Supes: “Thank you…?
Marvel: “Are you a new hero? What’s your name? Are you from Fawcett or are you gonna join us here?”
Supes: *computing, still stuck on the first question*
Meanwhile, Flash and Minuteman were arguing which then somehow spiraled into them getting tacos. Batman and Robin, and Mister Scarlet and Pinky are just fighting. And Bulletgirl and Wonder Woman had a civil conversation that actually got them a lot of information.
After sorting out the entire misunderstanding that they were all imposters, things thankfully got lighter.
Marvel: “Oh my gods, Jay, you’re an old man! What happened to your long luscious locks of beautiful brown hair?”
Barry: *holding back a laugh* “Long luscious locks?”
Jay: “Okay, it was not long, luscious, or beautiful. He just insists on calling it that to embarrass me.”
Marvel: “But it’s true! Or it was true.”
Jay: “No it wasn’t. I had perfectly average hair, thank you very much.”
Yeah, Billy met up with some of his old friends, and they were all ecstatic to see their eight feet tall, golden retriever who just wanted to make the world a better place.
Marvel: “So your not an hero anymore? Then what happened to the JSA?”
Alan Scott (First Green Lantern): “We disbanded…”
Marvel: “WHAT? Why?”
Alan: “Well, we were getting old. We needed to retire.”
Marvel: “Oh yeah.” *sounds a little bummed*
Alan: “I mean, there’s now this thing called the Justice League? Wildcat joined them. So did Mr. Terrific.”
Marvel: “That sounds like a ripoff of you guys!”
He joins anyways. So do the other Fawcett heroes cause they might as well. That’s when things go down hill once more because the JL are forced to remember that a couple Fawcett heroes, mostly Spy Smasher, kill people.
Batman and Spy Smasher: *tied up the Joker after beating up his goons*
Spy Smasher (SS): “Alright, let’s get out of here.” *pulls out a gun and puts it to the Joker’s forehead*
Batman: “What are you doing?”
SS: “I’m ending this…?” *cocks his gun*
Batman: *slaps the gun away* “No, you’re not. He’s going back to Arkham.”
SS: *pulls another gun out* “Yes, I am. Are you seriously telling me you don’t want to permanently end this guy? I’ve heard people call him a terrorist.”
The two then duked it out and the Joker still went back to Arkham anyways. Spy Smasher was so salty, not that literally anyone could blame him.
Marvel: “Wait, so people don’t kill villains anymore?”
SS: *sitting next to him, bandaged*
Wildcat: “Nope. Nowadays, you got to turn them into the police and let them break out again. I know it’s stupid.”
Marvel: “But what about the mass murderers? What about the Black Adams or the Captain Nazis? People who have done messed up stuff?”
Wildcat: “To jail they go. Why do you care anyways? It’s not like you killed any of your villains.”
Marvel: “Well, I didn’t, but I gotta ask because Smasher is trying so hard not to physically claw off his own skin at the thought of these guys just breaking back out.”
Safe to say, getting used to the modern world, took some getting used to for everyone. As for Billy, he chills with the gang at the old folks home, reminiscing about times as if he’s aged with them.
Also, like, genuinely, their disappearance would show up in top ten unsolved mysteries vids because genuinely, they just disappeared with no trace.
Billy also doesn’t know what to think of the many memorials he finds of himself and the other Fawcett heroes around the country.

my contribution to the 🏳️⚧️ Transcartoonology 🏳️⚧️ by @ghostsharkpress
when I was a kid Wildcat was (and still is) one of my favorite cartoon characters but their gender confused me. the other characters used male pronouns but with the long hair, soft temper and high voice little me had a lot of question marks in their head. Wildcat wasn’t like the other male characters but also not like the female ones. Then I learned about the gender nonbinary! which fit perfectly to my image of Wildcat (and also myself). I’ve been wanting to work on this comic for years and this has been the perfect platform for it!

Some pages from the origin story and first appearance of Wildcat, by Bill Finger (co-creator of a some guy called Batman) and Irwin Hasen, from Sensation Comics (vol. 1) #1 (January, 1942).
As a kid I only knew Hasen as the artist on the newspaper strip Dondi. I bought the New York Daily News every Sunday for my grandmother, and she let me have the large color comics section, which carried Dondi. The other Sunday newspapers my family read were Long Island's Newsday, which had a so-so comics section with no adventure strips, and The New York Times, which carried no comic strips at all (boring!).
It wasn't until I purchased Famous First Edition #C-30, the over-sized reprint of Sensation Comics #1, that I realized Hasen had been a comic book artist during the Golden Age. I really loved those reprints from DC, complete with the ads that ran in the books.
I liked the whole bit where Ted Grant is inspired to become Wildcat by "comic book character" (and his future Justice Society of America teammate) Green Lantern. That same bit is used in the Little Boy Blue origin story in the same issue. When deciding to become a costumed crime fighter, the hero is told by his best friend that Wildcat was inspired to do so by Green Lantern. So very meta.
Sensation Comics #1 included the original and first appearance of Mr. Terrific (another future member of the Justice Society), and The Gay Ghost (later renamed The Grim Ghost). It also featured the second appearance of some dame named Wonder Woman, who also snagged the cover spot.

Scottish Wildcat and Scottish Wildkittens. Once widespread across Great Britain, this population of European wildcats is now only found in northern and eastern Scotland. They’re threatened by habitat loss, hunting, and hybridized with domestic cats.
This is gonna be the postcard for February’s Creature Mail!
[ID: an illustration of a serious-looking wildcat on a fallen log. Two kittens are cuddling in the crook of a branch below her. The background is a field at night, with snow falling. End.]
