About this Collection

This massive black-and-white volume reprints a wide swath of Silver Age Justice League adventures from the late 1960s, including the team's battles with classic foes like Starro, Despero, and the Royal Flush Gang. It collects issues from the tail end of Gardner Fox's legendary run, showcasing the original seven members—Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Flash, Green Lantern, and Martian Manhunter—in sprawling, imaginative stories that defined the team for a generation.

"Operation: Jail the Justice League!" brings together the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America in a high-stakes crossover that tests loyalty and unity. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Dick Dillin with inks by Sid Greene, this 2009 issue sees the JLA travel to Earth-2 to help the JSA battle the enigmatic Aquarius—only to find the heroes already under his control. Cover by Neal Adams, the story unfolds with tension and emotional weight as the heroes turn on one another, culminating in a sacrifice that reshapes the future of the team.
