“Be It Ever So Humble...”

In "Be It Ever So Humble...", the Justice League of America bids farewell to their Detroit base after Steel's grandfather, regretful but firm, asks them to leave the Bunker. With the team relocating to New York City, J'onn J'onzz—still in his human guise as John Jones—struggles to find work as a cop, eventually joining Burt Biloxi's private detective agency. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Luke McDonnell, with inks by Bill Wray, colors by Gene D'Angelo, and letters by David C. Weiss, this 1986 issue captures a quiet turning point for the League, with cover art by McDonnell and Wray.
