☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 2004 trade paperback collects the seven-issue storyline from Justice League of America #161-167 and #183, originally published in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Written by Gerry Conway with art by Dick Dillin and others, the arc follows Zatanna as she seeks to rescue her father, the magician Zatara, from the dimension of the Lords of Chaos, with the Justice League assisting her quest. It also includes a framing story from JLA #183 that ties the adventure together, showcasing classic Bronze Age superheroics and mystical elements.
In "The Girl Who Split in Two!", Hawkman and Hawkgirl converge on a strange mystery at the Midway City Museum, where two artifacts have drawn their attention. There, they discover a paralyzed girl in a magician's costume, speaking in riddles—only to reunite with her twin and become Zatanna, who then sets off on a quest to find her missing father, Zatara. Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated with crisp precision by Murphy Anderson, with lettering by Gaspar Saladino, the issue's striking cover by Brian Bolland captures the moment of transformation in bold, dynamic lines.
