This volume collects Justice League of America issues from the late 1970s, featuring the team's adventures during a period of rotating rosters and classic Silver Age-style storytelling. As part of DC's Showcase Presents line, it presents the stories in black and white on inexpensive paper, focusing on the era's cosmic threats and team dynamics.
In "The Devil in Paradise!", the Justice League of America teams up with the Justice Society of America to confront the threat of A-Rym on Earth-2, where Solomon Grundy's presence adds a chilling twist. As the heroes race to reunite A-Rym with his lost companion Teppy before it's too late, a quiet moment between Earth-2 and Earth-1 Robins leads to a surprising gift—a new costume that may mark a turning point. With the crisis averted and the teams parting ways, Batman holds back, waiting for the League’s next call, while the younger Robin contemplates his future. Written by Mike Friedrich and brought to life with dynamic art by Dick Dillin and Joe Giella, the issue features a striking cover by Nick Cardy.
