About the series
In 1993, DC Comics launched Crucible, a six-issue miniseries that reimagined the origin of the Justice League of America. Written primarily by Brian Augustyn and Mark Waid, with art by Chuck Wojtkiewicz and Joe Quesada, the story follows a group of young heroes as they undergo a rigorous trial to prove themselves worthy of joining Earth's greatest super-team. It's a character-driven exploration of legacy and teamwork, offering a fresh, grounded take on the JLA's formation that still resonates with fans of 1990s DC storytelling.
