Showcase Presents: Justice League of America #5
In "The Devil in Paradise!", the Justice League of America teams up with the Justice Society of America to confront the threat of A-Rym on Earth-2, where Solomon Grundy's presence adds a chilling twist. As the heroes race to reunite A-Rym with his lost companion Teppy before it's too late, a quiet moment between Earth-2 and Earth-1 Robins leads to a surprising gift—a new costume that may mark a turning point. With the crisis averted and the teams parting ways, Batman holds back, waiting for the League’s next call, while the younger Robin contemplates his future. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Dillin and Joe Giella, the issue features a striking cover by Nick Cardy.

As A-Rym encounters Solomon Grundy on Earth-2, the JLA meets up with the JSA to try and stop A-Rym's rampage. After, the Earth-2 Hawkman sends both Robins away to the Batcave. While there, the Earth-2 Robin gives his Earth-1 doppelganger a new costume to replace his damaged one. Meanwhile the teams realize that if A-Rym and Teppy aren't reunited soon, they'll die, and both teams scramble to reunite them. After A-Rym and Teppy return home, the teams part, with Batman waiting for the League to aid him on his case and the Earth-1 Robin wondering if he should continue to wear his new costume.
