JLA Annual #4

Set against the crescent and star of the Turkish flag — with a map of Turkey itself underfoot — this 2000 annual from DC's "Planet DC" initiative spotlights a red-robed, masked figure wielding a flaming blade: the Janissary. Behind her, the assembled JLA — Green Lantern crackling with emerald energy aloft, Wonder Woman, Aquaman sword in hand, and Batman in full scowl — back her up against a lurking, monstrous threat in the shadows. Cover artists Steve Scott and Hector Collazo give the scene real kinetic weight, making this a compelling showcase for a hero rooted in Turkey's rich history standing alongside the League's heaviest hitters.
