“A Thorn by Any Other Name”

The Justice Society of America faces a fierce threat on this June 1978 cover, where the red-haired villainess Thorn menaces Wildcat with her poisoned thorns while the Flash, Huntress, and other JSA members charge in from behind — all rendered with sharp energy by Joe Staton and Dick Giordano. The cover tagline "The JSA Reunited — In Disaster!" sets a wonderfully tense stage, and the confrontation between Thorn and a reeling Wildcat crackles with urgency. Paul Levitz's "A Thorn by Any Other Name" looks to put the storied Society through their paces, making this a satisfying entry in DC's revival of one of comics' most enduring super-teams.
