Justice League of America #177

In "The Graveyard Gambit," the Justice League finds itself scattered across the globe, each member targeted in bizarre, seemingly random attacks—Aquaman by rogue dolphin fishers, Atom by kidnappers, Green Arrow and Black Canary by Nazis, and Superman and Batman by hijackers. When Zatanna pieces together the pattern, she realizes the chaos is part of a larger, sinister game of chess. Meanwhile, on a distant planet, J'onn J'onzz faces off against Despero across a glowing board, the stakes higher than anyone could imagine. Written by Gerry Conway and brought to life by Dick Dillin’s dynamic art and Frank McLaughlin’s inks, this 1980 classic features a cover by Rich Buckler and Dick Giordano.
