Justice League of America #150

In "The Key—or Not the Key," the Justice League grapples with Snapper Carr’s sudden betrayal, only to uncover a shocking return: the Key, long thought dead, has resurfaced and granted Snapper his new abilities. As tensions rise, Red Tornado reveals a deeper deception—the Privateer is the real Star-Tsar, turning the team’s mission upside down. Written by Steve Englehart and illustrated by Dick Dillin, with inks by Frank McLaughlin, colors by Anthony Tollin, and letters by Ben Oda, this 1978 issue features a cover by Rich Buckler and Jack Abel.
