Art by Kurt Schaffenberger who, after C.C. Beck, is the only artist I ever wanted drawing these characters.
The Squadron of Justice, the Earth-S superteam made up of the Fawcett Comics characters that DC first licensed, then acquired outright. Clockwise from top left: Mr. Scarlet and his sidekick Pinky; Spy Smasher; Ibis the Invincible and his wife, Taia; Bulletman and Bulletgirl; and the Marvel Family - Captain Marvel, Mary Marvel, and Captain Marvel Jr.
The team was introduced in Justice League of America (vol. 1) #135-137 (1976) during the annual Justice League-Justice Society crossover.
The only member missing is the god Mercury, who was responsible for putting the team together. However, Mercury was never a Fawcett hero, just someone who lent the Marvel family his powers. He was included in the story mainly to serve as Earth-S's analogue for the Flash.
Unfortunately, this was the first and only appearance of this team. DC never revisited the concept, and ten years later there was that whole Crisis On Infinite Earths thing which destroyed the multiverse (and DC is still, to this day, trying to undo the damage done by that event).
BTW, this was actually the second time the Squadron of Justice name had been used by Fawcett characters. Waaaaay back in Whiz Comics #21 (September, 1941) readers were introduced to Captain Marvel's Squadron of Justice.

This issue introduced the three different boys each named Billy Batson. When they said "Shazam!" together along with the original Billy they were transformed into the three Lieutenant Marvels. The four Marvels then joined forces to battle a team of villains that Dr. Sivana put together.
While the Lieutenant Marvels would appear several more times over the years, the Squadron of Justice name was never used again.

My life has been a bit chaotic these weeks, but I'm finally free and I can share this beautiful commission I made for @benzindream (deviantart) Commissions already open by DM
Truly I don't know why Sivana tries anymore.

The 3 Lieutenant Marvels make things easy on me because they all have the same secret ID.
But in case any of you were wondering. I'm just calling him Hill Marvel.
