American Update: Crisis on Multiple Earths! 1st and 2nd JLA/JSA crossovers!
*DC: A quartet of beauties that are among the closest to our collective hearts here at 30th Century – in Justice League of America #21 & #22, the groundbreaking “Crisis On Earth-One” and “Crisis On Earth-Two”, the heroes of the Justice League met their parallel-world counterparts, the Justice Society of America, for the first time, and an annual tradition was formed. Superbly created by Gardner Fox, Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs, the multiple heroes and villains of these stories were expertly juggled, with everyone getting their moment to shine. Reader response was such that in issues #29 and #30, we were brought the two-part, “Crisis On Earth-Three”, and “The Most Dangerous Earth of All!” respectively, which introduced the Justice League’s evil counterparts, the Crime Syndicate of America, from yet another parallel world. After a period in limbo, the CSA were revived in later decades, and have become major antagonists in subsequent DC Universes, spotlit in Grant Morrisson and Frank Quitely’s acclaimed “Earth-2” graphic novel, and the ‘big bad’ in the New 52’s “Forever Evil” mega-event. The Justice Society went from strength to strength, and have starred in several ongoing series since. These are the issues that kicked it all off, and they’re available in affordable mid-high grades, all cents copies – #21 is VG £55, #22 VG/FN £55, #29 FN+ £65, and #30 FN+ £50. All four illustrated below. SORRY, THESE HAVE NOW SOLD
