"Crisis On Earth-S"
Cover by Ernie Chan

Batman #49
(December, 1987)
Campeones De La Justicia y Defensores De La Justicia
"Crisis En Tierra-S"
Editora Cinco - Colombia

Note: Rather than using the cover pertaining to the story inside the book (Justice League Of America #136), Editora Cinco uses the cover for Justice League Of America #164, which had already been published as Batman #5 by Editora Cinco.

Note: Even though Batman #49 by Editora Cinco in Colombia is a reprint of Batman #942 by Editorial Novaro in Mexico, not only does the issue have a different cover, it does not include the second feature from the Novaro version. In its place, the issue is bloated with crosswords, mazes, and other games in order to fill the standard 32 pages.



Synopsis: As King Kull's plan continues, the Justice League (Hawkman and Hawkgirl), the Justice Society (Batman and Robin), and the Squadron of Justice (Bulletman, Bulletgirl, Mr. Scarlet, and Pinky) team-up to thwart the next phase. Meanwhile, the wizard Shazam and the Greek god Mercury send Johnny Thunder from Earth-2 on a mission to help Billy Batson, Mary Batson, and Freddy Freeman, who can no longer become their world's mightiest mortals!
