Highest GradedThe "Secret of the Sinister Sorcerers" sees the JLA battling the forces of magic after all scientific devices on Earth are bought to a standstill by a trio of evil mages, Magus, Saturna, and the Troll King. Enlisting the aid of one Merlin, the superhero team uses all their powers and cunning to defeat the evil wizards and restore order to the world. The hapless Snapper Carr provides comic relief to lighten the mood by turning himself into a giant. With a Justice League sequel on the way, all early entries into the series should see a rise in value.
This is the highest-graded copy of Justice League of America #2, and it is a stunner, the colors are brilliant as the kaleidescopic heroes uniforms jump off the page thanks to the pink wash that provides the backdrop for a gleaming golden door. The sharp corners and tight spine are a testament to the structural integrity of this Silver Age gem. A very tough book to find in high grade, and this one is at the very top of the census.

Mike Sekowsky was an American comics artist known as the penciler for DC Comics' Justice League of America during most of the 1960s (including their initial appearance in Brave and the Bold #28), and as the regular writer and artist on Wonder Woman during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Sekowsky's long career began in the early 40s for Timely Comics drawing the adventures of Captain America, and Sub-Mariner among others in titles such as All Winners Comics, Daring Comics, Marvel Mystery Comics, and Young Allies Comics. He would transition to DC Comics in the 1950s where we would work on Romance and Science Fiction stories including drawing the first appearance of Adam Strange in Showcase #17. He would co-create the Justice League of America with Gardner Fox and continue as it's artist for over 60 issues. Sekowsky would go on to have memorable runs as artist and writer on Metal Men, Wonder Woman, and the Supergirl feature in Adventure Comics.
