This deluxe hardcover collects the prelude and tie-in issues leading up to the landmark 1985 maxiseries Crisis on Infinite Earths, gathering stories from The Flash, Green Lantern, and other DC titles that set the stage for the multiverse-shattering event. Featuring a vast array of Golden Age and Silver Age heroes—including the Justice Society, the Freedom Fighters, and the All-Star Squadron—this volume chronicles the escalating threats that would ultimately force the DC Universe to confront its own existence. Written by Marv Wolfman and others, with art by George Pérez and more, it's an essential companion for fans of DC's first major crossover event.
"The Triad" delivers a tightly woven, emotionally grounded chapter in the Crisis on Infinite Earths saga, spotlighting the interconnected fates of heroes across the multiverse. Written by Roy Thomas and illustrated by Arvell Jones, with inks by Colletta and DeZuniga, this Deluxe Edition issue captures the urgency of the collapsing DC Universe, featuring key moments like Johnny Quick’s marriage to Liberty Belle and Uncle Sam’s desperate call to the Freedom Fighters—while Commander Steel’s accidental journey to Earth-One sets a new chain of events in motion. Jerry Ordway’s iconic cover art completes the package, making this a must-have for fans of the Crisis era.
