In "Riddle of the Runaway Room!", the Johnny Thunder of Earth-1 seizes control of his Earth-2 counterpart's Thunderbolt after a mistaken teleportation, setting off a time-twisting chain of events. With the help of the mischievous T-Bolt, he journeys back to alter the past—first to erase the Justice League's founding, then to create a Lawless League from his own criminal allies to challenge the JSA on Earth-1. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Bernard Sachs and letters by Gaspar Saladino, this 2018 tale blends multiversal chaos with classic superhero intrigue. The cover, by Evan "Doc" Shaner, captures the surreal energy of the story’s time-bending premise.
