☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis fourth volume of the All Star Comics Archives series reprints the early 1940s adventures of the Justice Society of America, collecting issues #12 through #14 of the original Golden Age series. Featuring classic stories with the original Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and other JSA members, this hardcover edition preserves the vintage artwork and storytelling that defined DC's first superhero team.
In "The Man Who Created Images! Introduction," Gardner Fox and Joe Gallagher deliver a gripping tale set at Sharktooth Bay, where the enigmatic Brain Wave uses his power to conjure living images from his mind—once for profit, now for vengeance. As the JSA lies trapped and Wonder Woman confronts the psychological trap set by the villain’s illusions, the story unfolds with a tense, cerebral edge, culminating in a dramatic and unexpected fall. The cover by Joe Staton and Rick Burchett captures the eerie intensity of the moment, while the interior art by Gallagher and colorist Tom Ziuko brings the surreal visuals to life.

At Sharktooth Bay, a strange figure called the Brain Wave oversees the inert forms of the JSA members. He thinks back to the time that he learned the ability to materialize people out of thin air. Unfortunately, he was only motivated by money, and that led him to a life of crime. Then he sees Wonder Woman and the girlfriends in their uniforms, and decides to use mental images of their boyfriends against them, and are captured. Brain Wave attempts to gas them all, Wonder Woman breaks her fetters and breaks out of their prison just in time to see the Brain Wave jump to his death from the tower.
