Justice League of America #1 hit the newsstands in 1960 shortly after the super team's short but successful run in The Brave and the Bold — although DC was still worried about overexposing Batman and Superman by including them on JLA covers. The two titans are still a big part of "The World of No Return," which is a typically wild tale from Gardner Fox. There's also the first appearance of Despero, who tricks the Flash into a rigged game that sends his fellow heroes to bizarre alien destinations. The memorable Murphy Anderson chessboard cover was an instant classic that has since been parodied and copied repeatedly over the years. There's also more of Snapper Carr, of course, who's brought into the book as a swinging teen sidekick styled after Edd Byrnes' success as "Kookie" in the hit TV series 77 Sunset Strip.

Justice League of America #1 always drives eyes straight to Murphy Anderson's colorful chessboard, preserved here in a very impressive 7.5 copy! In fact, this wildly creative cover has retained all of its vivid coloring over the past 64 years. This is a fantastic opportunity to obtain one of DC's most important cornerstones in a copy that's outstanding for its grade!
