Justice League of America #35

From May 1965 comes this wonderfully strange entry in DC's Silver Age run, promising a "Super-Star Spectacular" with a premise only the Justice League could sell: sentient, bodiless uniforms doing battle with Earth's greatest heroes. Mike Sekowsky's pencils and Murphy Anderson's inks pack the cover with gloriously kinetic chaos — Batman and Green Lantern grappling with a purple-masked, self-animated costume at center stage, while Wonder Woman's lasso snaps in the background, the Atom buzzes in at lower left in insect mode, and the Flash races to trade blows with a green-clad bodiless outfit at lower right. Gardner Fox was reliably inventive with his JLA concepts in 1965, and this issue's cover makes a strong case that "Battle Against the Bodiless Uniforms" is exactly as delightfully weird as it sounds.
