Before the Justice League of America, there was the Justice Society of America, DC's first and foremost super-hero team. Reprinted here are the orginal tales from the 1940s when the original Flash, Green Lantern, Spectre, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Hourman, Sandman, Atom and Johnny Thunder decided to join forces against threats that were too great for them to face alone. Setting the standard for super-hero teams forever, these early adventures are reprinted exactly as they appeared over 60 years ago. Looking back at a time when the JSA fought for simple truths such as America and Democracy.

As the original super-hero team, the Justice Society of America defended the nation against all threats domestic, international, and extraterrestrial in the 1940s. Beautifully reprinted in ALL STAR COMICS ARCHIVES VOL. 7 are some of their most classic tales and adventures from that era. Boasting a lineup that included Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkman, Wonder Woman, Dr. Mid-Nite, and Johnny Thunder, the JSA find themselves up against a diverse set of adversaries such as the super-scientist Landor, the brutish monster Solomon Grundy, and the emotion-controlling Psycho-Pirate.

This hardcover archive edition, which collects Scott's earliest adventures from the 1930's, includes Green Lantern's first appearance, his origin, and the debut of his friend and confidant Doiby Dickles.
