JSA: The Golden Age - The Deluxe Edition #[nn]
"Book One" from JSA: The Golden Age – The Deluxe Edition (2017) kicks off with a gripping return to the post-war era, where Tex Thompson, back from Europe and eyeing a political future, sets out to recruit a new hero to counter the rising Soviet threat. With Al Pratt ruled out, Thompson turns to the reclusive former Dan the Dyna-Mite, while Paul Kirk, returning from abroad tormented by his past, finds himself in the shadows—both hunted and haunted. Written by James Robinson and illustrated with rich detail by Paul Smith, whose inks and colors bring the era to life, this deluxe edition captures the weight of legacy and the quiet tension of a world on the brink. The cover, also by Smith, perfectly encapsulates the mood of this pivotal chapter.
