Justice League of America #73
In "Star Light, Star Bright — Death Star I See Tonight!", Red Tornado delivers a chilling warning to the JSA about Aquarius, a stellar entity reborn from cosmic exile, who steals Starman’s Cosmic Rod to reclaim his form. With Earth-2 vanishing in a flash, the JSA barely escape through Fate’s magic and Green Lantern’s ring, while Red Tornado races to Earth-1 to rally the JLA. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Dick Dillin, with inks by Sid Greene and cover by Joe Kubert, this 1969 classic blends cosmic dread and interdimensional stakes in a story that’s as bold as its 15-cent price tag.
