Six heroes. One star-shaped alien menace. This is how legends are made.

When an alien being with cosmic powers attacks Earth, a new era of heroism is born. Starro the Conqueror forces the DC Universe’s greatest champions to unite—launching the first Justice League and sparking a legacy of team-based storytelling still going strong today.

Packed with battles against villains like Despero, Felix Faust, and Kanjar Ro, this collection showcases the early years of the JLA: wild sci-fi plots, impossible odds, and the birth of super-team chemistry. It’s the origin story for the world’s greatest heroes, told with the imagination and excitement of comics’ most influential era.

Brings together The Brave and the Bold #28–30, Justice League of America #1–19, and Mystery in Space #75.
Born in 1911 in Brooklyn, New York, Gardner Fox was probably the single most imaginative and productive writer in the Golden Age of comics. In the 1940s, he created or co-created dozens of long-running features for DC Comics, including the Flash, Hawkman, the Sandman, and Doctor Fate, as well as penning most of the adventures of comics' first super-team, the Justice Society of America. He was also the second person to script Batman, beginning somewhere around the Dark Knight Detective's third story. For other companies over the years Fox also wrote Skyman, the Face, Jet Powers, Dr. Strange, Doc Savage and many others—including Crom the Barbarian, the first sword and sorcery series in comics. Following the revival in the late 1950s of the superhero genre, Fox assembled Earth's Mightiest Heroes once more and scripted an unbroken 65-issue run of Justice League of America. Though he produced thousands of other scripts and wrote over 100 books, it is perhaps this body of work for which he is best known. Fox passed away in 1986. View titles by Gardner Fox
