In "Das kosmische Panoptikum," the sinister Felix Faust uncovers a long-buried secret: the only way to free the ancient Demons Three—Abnegazar, Rath, and Ghast—lies in retrieving three legendary artifacts hidden by the Timeless Ones. As the Lord of Time unleashes warriors from every era to steal these relics, the League is torn apart, only to be manipulated by Faust, who forces them to hunt down the Red Jar of Calythos, the Green Bell of Uthool, and the Silver Wheel of Nyorlath. Written by Gardner Fox and Marc Hillefeld, with art by Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs, and lettered by Katja Braasch, this 1993 issue blends cosmic intrigue with a chilling twist on time and control.
When Snapper Carr and his girlfriend Midge get trapped in a bizarre new fun-house at Happy Harbor, the Justice League steps in to save them—only to vanish moments later, replaced by enigmatic aliens from the distant planet Angellax.
When Superman and Batman are trapped in Dimension X, petty crook Pete Ricketts stumbles upon a mysterious ray that lets him twist the Justice League into his own mind-controlled crew—then puts them up for auction, turning Earth’s mightiest heroes into a criminal marketplace spectacle.
In "Der Ursprung der Justice League!" from DC Archiv Edition #4 (1993), the Justice League of America reflects on their beginnings during their third anniversary, sharing the story of how they came together with Snapper Carr and Green Arrow. The tale unfolds as a behind-the-scenes look at the team’s founding, revealing the moment the heroes first united—without giving away how it all began.
In "Die phantastischen Finger von Felix Faust!", Felix Faust manipulates the League of Heroes into hunting down the relics of ancient power—the Red Jar of Calythos, the Green Bell of Uthool, and the Silver Wheel of Nyorlath—while the Lord of Time's temporal warriors ravage the present. As the heroes fall under Faust's control, the line between ally and puppet blurs in a race against time and madness.
In "Der letzte Fall der Justice League!" from DC Archiv Edition #4 (1993), Snapper Carr is pulled into the Justice League Sanctuary under mysterious circumstances—only to face Dr. Light, who claims he’s trapped the rest of the League in a surreal, unreachable dimension. With time running out and the sanctuary itself turning against him, Snapper must confront the impossible before the League’s fate is sealed.
When Sforll kidnaps the Justice League and traps them in his high-tech lair, they’re forced to confront a chilling challenge: battle robot doppelgängers of themselves to stop the rogue scientist Zed Brann from siphoning the universe’s vita-matter. Written by an unknown hand and illustrated by an unknown artist, this 1993 tale pits the heroes against their own mechanical echoes in a fight for survival and the fate of existence.
In "Bedrohung durch die 'Atom'-Bombe!", the Justice League elects the Atom—though no one can recall who he is—until Green Lantern’s Power Ring reveals his forgotten past. When the League is captured by Mister Memory and his de-memorizer, leaving the Atom the only one who remembers, he must piece together his own identity while racing to free his teammates before Ivy Town becomes a target.
