I mean Captain America renounced his name to make a jab at Richard Nixon, Green Lantern and Green Arrow were having some hard travels spurred on by the idea that Hal is a cryptofascist who perpetuates the economic inequality of the black man by coming to the aid of rich whites, Superman took on the KKK because its not as if his early history had strong strains of social justice including a story about the working conditions for children at the time, Lois Lane became black for a day to learn more about racial inequality even in the bright sunny days of Metropolis, Luke Cage's origin in the 70s was him going to jail for a crime he didn't commit.
Politics has always been in comics, and even more so since the 70s, which is right after when this story was published
