Wentworth; a Sheldon Moldoff, Martin Nodell, Bernard Bailey, Creig Flessel, Chad Grothkopf, Jon L. Blummer, Everett Hibbard, William Smith and Stan Aschmeier). [From DC Comics: From the Golden Age of comics — a special volume collecting the early individual adventures of the members of the Justice Society of America from ALL STAR COMICS #1 and #2 at a special price! While ALL STAR COMICS #3 was unquestionably one of comics’ greatest milestones, issues #1 and #2 were also impressive in their own right. Virtually every founding member of the (yet-to-debut) original JSA lineup — minus Superman and Batman — was represented in these individual adventures, and most of the stories are written and drawn by their original creators. ALL STAR ARCHIVES Vol. 0 is the perfect preface to the 11-volume complete reprinting of every JSA adventure from the Golden Age. Now the entire body of these “All Star” exploits is in print and available to all those who were there when they were published the first time around — or wish they had been!] |

a Everett E. Hibbard, Sheldon Moldoff, Bernard Baily, Sheldon Mayer, Craig
Flessel, Howard Sherman, Ben Flinton, Martin Nodell, Hal Sharp, Cliff Young,
Irwin Hasen, Stan Aschmeier). [From DC Comics: Once
upon a time, there were dozens upon dozens of costumed crime-fighters dancing
across the four-color page. But - unlike in our time - these people worked
as individuals. There were no "super teams" as we know them today.
Until late in 1940. Until the appearance of All Star Comics #3. Until the
Justice Society of America. At first, the idea was simple: take all of the
major costumed characters who only appeared in the various anthology books,
sit them at a table, and have them discuss their most recent mission. But
with All Star Comics #4, these heroes joined forces in a common adventure
- something that had never happened before - and the world of comic books
has never been the same! All Star Comics quickly transcended its origins
as an anthology book, and became synonymous with the Justice Society of
America. The series inspired a number of imitators - including one, The
Seven Soldiers of Victory, that was published by DC Comics. The creation
of two comics legends - editor Sheldon Mayer (later of Sugar and Spike fame)
and writer Gardner Fox (co-creator of The Flash and Hawkman, among many
other series), the Justice Society of America featured each superhero in
his own solo chapter, with the character's regular artist usually drawing
that chapter. This volume reprints in its entirety the first four Justice
Society issues - All Star Comics #3 through #6. These issues feature most
of the best-known DC Comics heroes of the "Golden Age": The Flash,
Green Lantern, Hawkman, The Atom, The Spectre, Dr. Fate, Hourman, The Sandman,
and Johnny Thunder.] |

DC Comics: World War II continues to rage throughout Europe and the
Pacific leaving virtually nothing untouched by its wake, including American
comic books and the JSA
Represented here are the adventures of the
Justice Society of America from the pages of All Star Comics of 1944 through
the first half of 1945, perhaps the most grim of the war years, which may
explain the time-travel story containing a strident saber-rattling indictment
of the entire country of Germany (something almost uncomfortable to look
at with today's sensibilities). Also we have a sympathetic, yet exciting
adventure revolving around the plight of the "physically handicapped,"
a twenty-year-old murder mystery, an alien robot invasion, and a world-spanning
tale of (shudder) living paint! Add to all this the "mystery of issue
24," as delineated by historian Roy Thomas in his foreword, and you've
got a collection of nothing but the best of comics' Golden Age!]

1947 was a banner period for the JSA; new writers with new approaches and
new artists with more sophisticated styles raised the bar for comics' premier
super-team. And it was a time of supreme villainy: The Wizard, Per Degaton,

Some feel that it has declined, especially after the departure of founding co-writer David Goyer, but the early volumes combine the old-fashioned joy team books used to take in gathering a bunch of heroes together with a somewhat darker edge, blending together original Golden Age JSA members with new heroes, some of whom are updated versions of originals. |
