Justice League of America #109

The cover of Justice League of America #109 (February 1974) crackles with internal tension as Superman bursts through a doorway, finger pointed and expression urgent, declaring that one of the Justice Leaguers is quitting — while Batman, the Flash, a red-costumed figure, Black Canary, Hawkman, and Green Arrow look on with visible alarm and demand to know who and why. Nick Cardy's clean, expressive linework gives the scene the charged feel of a team on the verge of fracturing from within. Len Wein scripts the story — "The Doom of the Divided Man!" — making this a compelling mid-1970s slice of DC's flagship super-team at its most dramatically human.
