☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection presents the acclaimed 1993-1994 prestige-format miniseries written by James Robinson and illustrated by Paul Smith. Set in an alternate 1950s, it follows the surviving members of the Justice Society of America as they grapple with obsolescence and a mysterious new threat during the Red Scare, offering a mature, character-driven take on DC's Golden Age heroes. The volume collects all four issues of the series, along with a new introduction and sketchbook material.
In the aftermath of the war, as most costumed heroes fade into civilian life, Tex Thompson returns from Europe with a new mission: to build a superhero for the Cold War era. With Al Pratt out of the running, Thompson turns to the reclusive former Dan the Dyna-Mite, while Paul Kirk, back from Europe and tormented by visions, finds himself on the wrong side of the law. Written by James Robinson and illustrated with sharp detail by Paul Smith, this issue blends political intrigue with personal mystery, all under a striking cover by Smith.
In the quiet aftermath of war, Tex Thompson returns from Europe with a vision: to forge a new hero to face the rising Soviet threat. With Al Pratt out of the picture, he turns to the reclusive former Dan the Dyna-Mite, while Paul Kirk, returning from abroad tormented by visions, finds himself hunted—though not by the enemy he expects.
In "null," Tex Thompson reshapes Daniel Dunbar into the public face of Dynaman, thrusting him into the spotlight as a new symbol of American might. Meanwhile, former Tigress Paula Brooks answers Thompson’s call, stepping into the fray with a past full of secrets. As the world watches, Bob Daley crosses paths with Paul Kirk, drawn into a deadly game where survival hinges on trust—and the next move is never certain.
In "null," Jo and her allies uncover a chilling secret hidden in Tex Thompson's diary—proof that the Ultra-Humanite's mind has taken over his body. As Paul Kirk struggles to piece together fragmented memories, the team races to verify the truth, with Johnny Chambers doubting until Carter Hall confirms the impossible.
In a tense gathering of heroes summoned to Washington at the President’s request, secrets about Tex Thompson and Dynaman come to light—only for Miss America to shock everyone by revealing Thompson is the Ultra-Humanite. Chaos erupts when Hourman drops a bombshell of his own: Dynaman is actually Adolf Hitler. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, the heroes must find a way to stop him—before it’s too late.
