“While a World Lies Burning”

In "While a World Lies Burning," the Justice League of America faces a crisis that fractures the fragile peace of the World Court when the truth about Ultraa’s attorney is exposed—revealing a hidden alien menace. With riots erupting and the planet on the brink, Batman takes a bold step, abandoning his post to strike at the heart of the threat at the alien’s base. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Dick Dillin’s dynamic art, with inks by Frank McLaughlin and colors by Jerry Serpe, this 1979 issue captures the League at a turning point—where justice meets action, and the fate of Earth hangs in the balance. The cover by Dick Dillin and Dick Giordano perfectly captures the tension of a world under siege.
