☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection brings together the four-issue miniseries The Golden Age, a DC Elseworlds tale set in the 1950s that explores the twilight years of the Justice Society of America. Written by James Robinson with art by Paul Smith, the story follows retired superheroes as a new, government-sanctioned team emerges and a mysterious villain threatens to expose their secrets.
In the aftermath of the war, Tex Thompson—back from Europe and aiming for a political future—sets out to forge a new hero to counter the rising Soviet threat, bypassing Al Pratt in favor of the reclusive former Dan the Dyna-Mite. Meanwhile, Paul Kirk, returning from abroad tormented by visions, finds himself pursued by forces he can’t yet understand, as the past begins to catch up with him. Written by James Robinson and illustrated by Paul Martin Smith, this issue—“2”—delivers a tense, character-driven story of legacy, identity, and the weight of history, with cover art by Paul Smith.
In the quiet aftermath of war, Tex Thompson returns from Europe with a vision: to forge a new protector for a world on edge. As he seeks a worthy successor to Dan the Dyna-Mite, a shadowed past resurfaces—Paul Kirk, once Manhunter, now haunted by visions and hunted by forces he can’t name. Amid the fading legacy of the Justice Society, old heroes and new fears collide in a story where duty wears a different face.
In a world where legacy and power collide, Tex Thompson reshapes history by transforming Daniel Dunbar into the formidable Dynaman and thrusting him into the public eye. As Paula Brooks answers Thompson’s call and joins his cause, a shadowed conspiracy unfolds—Bob Daley crosses paths with Paul Kirk, and their uneasy alliance becomes a lifeline in a deadly game of survival.
In "3" from The Golden Age #nn, secrets from the past surface when Joan Dale, Lance Gallant, and Paula Brooks uncover a chilling revelation in Tex Thompson’s diary—proof that the Ultra-Humanite’s mind has been transferred into his body. As Bob Daley and Carter Hall work to jog Paul Kirk’s memory, the truth begins to unravel, and Johnny Chambers, initially doubtful, is forced to confront the possibility that the man he thought was Tex Thompson might be something far more dangerous.
In the shadow of a presidential summit, secrets long buried come to light when Miss America exposes Tex Thompson as the Ultra-Humanite, and Hourman reveals that Dynaman is none other than Adolf Hitler. Chaos erupts as the assembled heroes—ranging from Captain Triumph and Green Lantern to the Doom Patrol and Martian Manhunter—race to contain the threat, but they’ll need a different kind of ally to stand against the impossible.
