About this Collection

This volume collects early DC Comics crossovers from the Silver Age, bringing together heroes from parallel Earths for the first time. Featuring the initial team-ups between the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America, these stories laid the groundwork for the multiverse concept that would later define Crisis on Infinite Earths. Written by Gardner Fox with art by Mike Sekowsky and others, it reprints issues from The Flash, Justice League of America, and more.

"Crisis on Earth-One!" kicks off a multiversal showdown with the JLA rushing to aid the JSA against the enigmatic Aquarius. As Alan Scott's and John Stewart's energies falter within a collapsing protective bubble, Aquarius intervenes—only to seize control of them, forcing the heroes into a brutal clash. With Starman's rod flaring dangerously and Black Canary trapped by Green Arrow's adhesive shaft, a desperate sacrifice from her husband Larry alters the tide. The story unfolds with emotional weight and high-stakes action, written by Denny O'Neil and brought to life by Dick Dillin’s dynamic art, with inks by Sid Greene and lettering by Gaspar Saladino. The cover, a striking collaboration by Dave Gibbons, captures the moment’s intensity.
