About this Collection

This ninth volume of the Justice League of America Archives collects issues #47-#53 of the original 1960s series, reprinting the Silver Age adventures of the team during Gardner Fox's celebrated run. Featuring classic battles against villains like the Key, the Shaggy Man, and the Secret Society of Super-Villains, this hardcover edition preserves the stories that helped define the League's early legacy.

In "And So My World Ends!", Martian Manhunter faces off against General Blanx as Mars prepares to abandon its dying world, with J'onn J'onzz choosing to join the exodus. Written by Denny O'Neil and illustrated by Dick Dillin, with inks by Sid Greene and colors by Jamison, this pivotal story sees the hero leave the Justice League behind. The cover, by Murphy Anderson, captures the moment with striking detail.
