origin & 1st app. Justice Society of America; 1st Atom cvr; truly iconic cover, one of the milestones of the Golden AgeAfter two issues of showcasing Golden Age heroes, All Star Comics contributed even more to comics history by featuring the origin and first appearance of the Justice Society of America. The official date is November 22nd, 1940, as the heroes get together to each tell a story about their most exciting adventure. By the time that they're done, the FBI is asking for assistance and we're looking at the formation of the first-ever superhero team.
This historic gathering would eventually lead to the creation of the Justice League, the Avengers, the X-Men, and more. The book's classic cover by E.E. Hibbard showcases these pioneering Golden Age heroes, featuring the Atom, Sandman, Spectre, Flash, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Green Lantern, and Hour Man. (Johnny Thunder also attends, but he wasn't really invited.)Never before offered to the general public, these original owner comic books are freshly graded and ready for sale to an astute collector!
As a collector, a fresh to the market Golden Age comic is always a rare and unique circumstance to enjoy. This book was originally purchased from a local general store way down below the Mason-Dixon, in a genteel South Carolina town. Tucked away for decades, this beautiful copy boasts incredibly well-preserved colors that are as bright and clean as they day they were printed. In a time where Golden Age keys are sometimes flipped quickly between collectors, you can be the second person ever to possess this copy of this famous comic.
