Wesley finally remembers being the Sandman when Sandy Hawkins' full name is mentioned. The Sandman comes out of retirement, builds a new Sand-Car out of a sports car, invents a sand-gun with the ability to form stone and glass shapes out of sand, and rejoins the Justice Society of America. He also secretly begins trying to find a cure for Sandy, who was accidentally transformed into a silicoid monster in 1945, but is unsuccessful for almost a decade. //Note: Although this story is published in 1982 and apparently takes place shortly before issue #47, it must take place sometime before the Sandman's return to the JSA in Justice League of America #46.// ["Whatever Happened to the Sandman?"
