About this Collection

This hardcover volume kicks off DC's Archive Editions line by reprinting the earliest adventures of the Justice League of America, originally published in The Brave and the Bold #28-30 and Justice League of America #1-6. These stories from 1960-1961 introduce the founding seven heroes—Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, The Flash, Green Lantern, and the Martian Manhunter—as they unite against cosmic threats like Starro the Conqueror and Despero. The collection showcases the Silver Age origins of the team, with art by Mike Sekowsky and scripts by Gardner Fox, presented in restored, high-quality color on archival paper.

"Starro the Conqueror!" kicks off with a high-stakes encounter as Flash intercepts two refugees from Kalanor—Jasonar and Sardanna—seeking help to stop the tyrant Despero, who’s conquered their world. With the Justice League summoned, Flash finds his teammates already under Despero’s control, setting up a deadly game where failure means exile to distant worlds. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Mike Sekowsky, with inks by Bernard Sachs and colors by Tom McCraw and Rick Taylor, this classic tale blends alien intrigue with the JLA’s signature teamwork—on a cover by Mike Sekowsky and Murphy Anderson.
