*DC: From 1960, one of the most important and significant comics of the Silver Age this week. The Justice League Of America, teaming up all of DC’s then current key heroes, debuted in The Brave & The Bold #28, and thus a legend was born. In these early stories, the roles of Superman & Batman were kept pretty much to cameos (presumably because DC felt they had enough exposure elsewhere), but the JLA kept up the tradition of reviving Golden Age concepts for this new Silver Age (in this case the Justice Society). The baddie in this inaugural outing was Starro the Conqueror. In a manner of speaking, this comic was also responsible for launching the Marvel Age of Comics, since Stan Lee’s response to the success of the JLA was to create the Fantastic Four.
This latest copy is only a Poor. Most noticeably, it has a heavily taped spine and is missing the back cover. The staples are good at the centrefold, but it is difficult to think they have any effect on the cover. The colours on the front cover are a bit muted, but not too bad. Lots of wear beneath the spine tape and lots of edge ‘nibbles’, with the cover quite worn and thin. Pence stamped. Page quality is okay, a little grubby here and there with small horizontal tear centre right edge of last two pages. All pages are present. The cheapest copy I can see around at the time of listing. High resolution images are available on request.
