Foreword by Roy Thomas. One of the greatest eras in the history of the Justice League of America starts here. The beginning of the 1970s saw the heroes of the JLA trading in their secret New England cave hideout for the Earth-orbiting satellite HQ. Plus, the League started expanding its lineup to include even more characters, such as Elongated Man and the Red Tornado! Throw in team-ups with the classic Justice Society of America and the returned Seven Soldiers of Victory, and its easy to see why these stories became fan-favorite epics. These cosmic tales turned the Justice League of America into the legends of the DC Universe that they are today, and are gathered for the first time in this expansive collection. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 856 pages, full color. Cover price $125.00.
