About the series
In 1998, DC Comics launched this twelve-issue maxiseries, a collaborative effort between writers Brian Augustyn and Mark Waid with art by Barry Kitson. It reimagined the Justice League of America's earliest days, focusing on the team's formation and their first adventures together as a cohesive unit. A cornerstone of DC's "Year One" tradition, this series offers a definitive, modern retelling of the League's origins that has influenced how the team's founding is understood.
