About this Collection

This third volume in DC's Crisis on Multiple Earths series collects Silver Age and Bronze Age stories leading up to the landmark Crisis on Infinite Earths event. Featuring team-ups between the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America, these tales showcase the growing tensions and interdimensional threats that set the stage for the multiverse-shattering crossover. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by artists like Dick Dillin and George Pérez, the book includes issues from the late 1970s and early 1980s, highlighting the final adventures of the Earth-Two and Earth-One heroes before the Crisis.
