Collections strong in comic book artists and art will find this history
of the Justice Society of America and friends to be moving: it provides
more secrets of the comic characters from the 1940s through the 1980s,
surveying major issues and events, providing black and white
reproductions of pages, and detailing behind-the-scenes influences on
adventures and character appearances. An excellent companion for any
who have followed the strip and seek more information on historical
progression.
