“For America and Democracy! [Introduction]”

The entire Justice Society of America charges forward on this March–April 1941 cover — Hawkman soaring overhead, Green Lantern and the winged Hour-Man airborne behind him, while the Flash, Dr. Fate, the Sandman, and a blue-masked figure surge ahead on the ground, one of them brandishing a flag reading "For America and Democracy" beside the dome of the U.S. Capitol. Cover art by E. E. Hibbard and Sheldon Moldoff captures the patriotic energy perfectly, with the JSA banner and that stirring slogan setting the tone for what the cover itself bills as "the first complete book-length adventure of the Justice Society of America." Featuring The Flash, The Spectre, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, Hawkman, Hour-Man, the Sandman, the Atom, and Johnny Thunder, this ten-cent issue is a remarkable assembly of Golden Age talent — with interior story and art by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman adding further depth to the package.
