ONe thing stands out about the JLA pin-up: Superman and Batman looming largeer than life over everyone else - literally bigger than the rest even though standing behind them. Wonder Woman OTOH has a seat with the rest of the rank and file - which I presume means that the whole idea of the "Trinity" of the biggest DC characters had not yet been formulated.
So when did the Trinity concept - Superman, Batman, and WW - first gain acceptance?

Actually, that's the J SA, which makes their looming presence even more odd, because the "World's Finest team" enjoyed only honorary mebership in the JSA and appeared in just two issues of All-Star. |

Three, if you count the Hop Harrigan text story in All-Star #8.
Cei-U! Needless to say, I do!

I can buy two reasons for why Batman and Superman are so large.
The Earth-2 reason is that those aren't the real Bats and Supes, but statues that the JSA is having theor picture taken in front of for some reason.
The Earth Prime version is that Anderson originally didn't include them in the picture and was told to add them later, and scaled them up a little to fill up the design.
