JLA #49

In "The Queen of Fables, Part 3 of 3: Unhappily Ever After," the JLA confronts a reality-warping threat as Manhattan becomes overrun with storybook creatures, and the Queen of Fables takes refuge in Wonder Woman’s Wonderdome. Written by Mark Waid and brought to life by Bryan Hitch’s dynamic art and Javier Saltares’ detailed interiors, the issue sees Wonder Woman use her lasso of truth to shatter the Queen’s illusions, forcing her to face a world beyond fairy tales—only for Flash to outwit her with a clever trap. The cover by Bryan Hitch and Paul Neary captures the tension of this final clash, set in a 2.25 USD (3.50 CAD) comic from 2001.
