The Shrine has covered this series before (here and here), and while the insides are always faithful reprints of the original American comics, the covers are ten pounds of confusion stuffed into a five-pound bag: what, exactly, is going on here?
The Flash appears to be jitterbugging, while a mis-colored Green Arrow and Speedy chat with an even more mis-colored Aquaman! Meanwhile, Superman blithely takes off while Tommy Tomorrow(?) lurks in the background. And the whole scene seems to be taking place in a church, or maybe the United Nations.
All I know is, the Shrine wouldn't have it any other way!

- in a church, or maybe the United Nations... or a courtroom.
"Jitterbugging" - hilarious!
Aquaman almost seems to be pleading with GA and Speedy, who is preparing to shoot him!!!
And Jimmy Olsen is blond...or is that Johnny Thunder!?!

Maybe this cover is of the Justice League of Earth-DownUnder. Heroes like ours, but just a little different.
So, this isn't Aquaman. This is Aquamate!
Look! It's Green Arrow and Green Speedy!
I like the complete absence of fun lettering, it may as well be called "Acme Standard Superhero Adventure Picture Sequences"
What Vixen/Reynard lacks in flashy, instantly recognizable costumery, he makes up for in enthusiasm.
