A massive hardcover collecting JLA's earliest adventures from 1960-1964.
This begins with the three Brave and the Bold appearances, then moves into the JLA’s own long-running title, with wonderful covers by Murphy Anderson and interior art by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs. Many of the covers and stories here are icons of the early Silver Age, including the first cross-overs with the 1940s Justice Society, and lots of iconic villains.
And all this starring all the newly-recreated Silver Age DC heroes: The Flash, Green Lantern, The Atom and Martian Manhunter. And the continuing DC Comics icons: Wonder Woman, Superman, Green Arrow, Aquaman. Later on we are joined by The Black Canary, Dr. Midnite. Gardner Fox, prolific DC writer in the 1940s and author of many of the original Justice Society stories, is here writing EVERY story here. How’s THAT for continuity?
Includes the famous stories “Crisis on Earth-One,” “Crisis on Earth-Two,” and “Crisis on Earth-Three.”
Born in 1911 in Brooklyn, New York, Gardner Fox was probably the single most imaginative and productive writer in the Golden Age of comics. In the 1940s, he created or co-created dozens of long-running features for DC Comics, including the Flash, Hawkman, the Sandman, and Doctor Fate, as well as penning most of the adventures of comics' first super-team, the Justice Society of America. He was also the second person to script Batman, beginning somewhere around the Dark Knight Detective's third story. For other companies over the years Fox also wrote Skyman, the Face, Jet Powers, Dr. Strange, Doc Savage and many others—including Crom the Barbarian, the first sword and sorcery series in comics. Following the revival in the late 1950s of the superhero genre, Fox assembled Earth's Mightiest Heroes once more and scripted an unbroken 65-issue run of Justice League of America. Though he produced thousands of other scripts and wrote over 100 books, it is perhaps this body of work for which he is best known. Fox passed away in 1986.
