Justice League America #65

In "Of Ashes and Justice," Dan Jurgens crafts a pivotal moment for the Justice League America as Booster Gold, the Beetle, and Ice outmaneuver the formidable Starbreaker by luring him into overloading on power. The aftermath sees Maxima banished from Almerac, where a new democratic council has taken control, marking a turning point for the planet’s future. With Dan Jurgens handling both art and story, and Rick Burchett’s inks lending sharp detail to the cover by Jurgens, this 1992 issue delivers high-stakes action and political consequence in a single, tightly written chapter.
