Excellent Bob Layton Cover highlights the end of a well written series. Back during those Troubled Late 1970's Business of Comic Book times 19 issues of an "odd-ball" title like this seems like pretty good run.

Justice Society of America: "Only Legends Live Forever" (15 pages)
Paul Levitz (Writer) Joe Staton (Artist) Ben Oda (Letterer) Adrienne Roy (Colorist)
A man named Bill Jensen, armed with inexplicable power scales the top of the Gotham Towers where he single-highhandedly defeats the Justice Society of America. Jensen screams that he wants to avenge himself against Commissioner Bruce Wayne, whom he believes framed him in order to further his own career. When Wayne learns of the situation, he has little choice but to come out of retirement and operate as Batman one last time. Swinging to the top of the tower, he catches the Flash, whom Jensen had hurled from the rooftop. He rests him on a ledge, then scales the tower to confront Jensen.
The other JSA members continue fighting him, but even the combined might of Green Lantern and Doctor Fate cannot stop him. Batman approaches him, and Jensen turns his power against him. He continues to struggle forward until both combatants are locked in a violent embrace. Jensen's power sears away Batman's mask, and he realizes that this is the man he has sworn to destroy -- Bruce Wayne. Driven to even greater fury, Jensen's power burns out of control, consuming both men. The Batman, one of the first and most infamous of Mystery Men... is dead.
In the following days, Bruce Wayne's body is laid to rest next to the grave of his wife, Selina, and his parents. His daughter Helena speaks with Dick Grayson about the future of the Batman legacy. Helena solemnly states that only "legends live forever".
