Murphy Anderson cover; 1st solo series; 1st app of Despero; Letter to the editor from Roy Thomas; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 8 (CBI)After a short but successful run in The Brave and the Bold, the Justice League of America debuted in its very own title in 1960. The superhero team united the forces of some of DC's prime talent, including Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, and the Flash. This issue features the JLA fighting a losing battle against the hypnotic Despero only to be rescued by a simple hipster, Snapper Carr, who is impervious to the crafty villain's powers. The memorable Murphy Anderson chessboard cover was an instant classic that has been parodied and copied repeatedly in the years since publication. The fine detail of this cover design showcases the impeccable craft of Anderson's crackerjack talents.Thanks to Zack Snyder’s recut of “Justice League” interest in the hero team, and all the key issues in their storied franchise, have seen a bump up in value. The first issue of the JLA’s debut issue is a perennial classic, with a cover that has been parodied and paid tribute many times since its publication, Justice League of America #1 is a big-time DC Silver Age book. This QES-certified copy presents a wonderful color strike with robust yellows and reds, as well as deep blacks and blues. The construction is also exemplary for the grade, with perfectly situated staples and a nice, tight spine. This is a comic that never goes out of style and remains a dream book for many DC collectors, with a Justice League sequel in the works, we advise you to keep an eye on copies of this key.
