"Crisis From Yesterday" and "Crisis From Tomorrow"
The JLA and JSA fight the Black Pirate, Enemy Ace, Jonah Hex, Miss Liberty, and the Viking Prince, who have been taken from their times and given superpowers by the Lord of Time, in an attempt to make the heroes destroy a computer which is about to stop time. He created it and gave the order, before realizing it would destroy the Universe as time would not be able to be re-started. He discovered it could not reject orders. The teams are defeated in the first battle, but follow a trace to 3786. The five beings have been defeated by the computer defenses, as it can summon beings from different times. The Elongated Man is able to slip through the defenses and break the computer just a few seconds before the computer stops time.
The stories can be found in Justice League of America #159 and 160 published in 1978.

Famous quotes containing the words crisis, yesterday and/or tomorrow:
“Tennis is more than just a sport. It’s an art, like the ballet. Or like a performance in the theater. When I step on the court I feel like Anna Pavlova. Or like Adelina Patti.

—Bill Tilden (1893–1953)

“Let’s lack no discipline, make no delay:
For, lords, tomorrow is a busy day.”
