Joe Kubert art; Batman & Superman guest star in this very special episode (8-9/47); 1st meeting of Batman, Superman & Wonder WomanWith the overwhelming success of the Justice League, it's easy to forget that the original Justice Society was originally bereft one Kryptonian and one Dark Knight. DC initially used the JSA solely to push their stable of newer heroes, afraid to ruin the success of their two main stars. They needn't have worried -- the appetite of wartime hero readers was massive, and multiple titles could handle the load, leading to Superman and Batman finally popping up as guest stars well after the war effort ended in this classic issue boasting a typically cheerful period cover.
Artists Information
Joe Kubert (Sept. 18, 1926 - Aug. 12, 2012) began his career at the age of 13. He was also an art teacher and founder of The Kubert School. He is best known for his work on the characters like Sgt. Rock, Hawkman, Tor, Son of Sinbad and the Viking Prince.
Lee Elias was a British-American comics artist. He was best known for his work on the Black Cat comic book published by Harvey Comics in the 1940s. Lee Elias left comic books after the 1954 publication of Fredric Wertham's anti-comics book Seduction of the Innocent, which used four of his Black Cat panels as examples of "depraved" comic art. In 1972, Elias came back to American comic books, working mainly on DC's various horror titles and secondary Marvel Comics titles including Power Man and The Human Fly. His last major project was The Rook series for Warren Publishing.
