“I Accuse...”

In "I Accuse...", the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America join forces in a tense race against time to uncover the killer of Mr. Terrific, with the Spirit King's trail leading to a shocking twist: the villain has possessed the JSA's Flash. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Dick Dillin, with inks by Frank McLaughlin and colors by Jerry Serpe, this gripping 1979 tale sees Zatanna and Huntress injured as the heroes piece together the truth. The cover by Dick Giordano captures the moment of revelation, setting up a bold escalation as the Spirit King vanishes back to Earth-2—leaving the JSA determined to pursue him.
