About this Collection

This massive black-and-white volume collects the early adventures of the All-Star Squadron, DC's World War II-era superhero team, reprinting All-Star Squadron #1-18 and a story from Justice League of America #193. Roy Thomas's scripts weave together Golden Age characters like the Justice Society of America and Freedom Fighters into a cohesive wartime narrative, with art by Rich Buckler, Jerry Ordway, and others. As part of the Showcase Presents line, it offers an affordable, phonebook-sized archive of this classic series' first year.
