*DC: In his issues of Justice League of America, author Gardner Fox often used a science fiction or fantasy setting, influenced no doubt by his novels in those genres. This gave many of the issues a unique flavour beyond that of standard super-heroics. #4 (1961) is no exception, with adventure on alien worlds where Green Arrow becomes the first hero to join the team since its inception. Beneath a classic cover from Murphy Anderson (his run of covers on this title is a joy to behold), Mike Sekowsky shows his versatility, handling the wide cast of characters with flair and distinction. This is a very nice pence stamped copy, with a small arrival date in pen at the top of the cover diamond, but no other marks and strong, vivid colour. Moderate spine and edge wear, with tiny bits of colour break only. Excellent off-white pages. Printed without a lower staple; upper is tight and firmly attached.
