About this Collection

This volume collects early Golden Age stories featuring the Justice Society of America, including material from All Star Comics #1-2 and related issues, showcasing the team's formation and initial adventures. It is part of DC's Archive Editions series, which presents classic comics in hardcover with restored artwork and coloring.

"Vs. the Sorceror Trygg" is a standout tale from the All Star Comics Archives #0 (2006), spotlighting the early adventures of Hawkman in a story written by Gardner F. Fox and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff, whose dynamic art brings the mystery to life. When Hawkman discovers a woman’s body seemingly drowned in a dry room, with a mysterious glass knife at the scene, he uncovers a sinister ritual tied to the Aztec rain god Yum-Chac—leading him on a desperate mission to save his sister from a deadly sacrifice. The cover, by Howard Purcell, captures the eerie tension of the moment, perfectly framing the issue’s haunting tone.
