About this Collection

This volume collects early Justice League of America stories originally presented in Showcase Presents format, featuring the team's Silver Age adventures in black and white. It reprints issues from the late 1960s, showcasing classic battles and character dynamics from the original Justice League roster.

In "Crisis on Earth-X!", the Justice League of America and the Justice Society of America are thrown into a terrifying alternate reality when a malfunctioning transmatter machine strands six JLA members and the Red Tornado on Earth-X—where the Nazis won World War II. With the Freedom Fighters, led by Uncle Sam, guiding them, the heroes uncover a global network of mind-control machines and must race to dismantle them before the tyranny spreads further. Written by Len Wein and illustrated by Dick Dillin with inks by Dick Giordano, this gripping tale features dynamic art and a chilling alternate history, all brought to life in a cover by Nick Cardy.
