The Justice Society of America, or JSA, the superhero group created by All-American Comics ( later DC Comics) has the distinction of being the very first team of superheroes in comic book history.
Emerging during what is now thought of as the Golden Age of comic books, the group first appeared in issue 3 of All Star Comics (Winter 1940) and featured lesser known characters – in fact, it was designed rather as a springboard to launch the heroes who would later go on to have their own comic books (as was the case with both Flash and Green Lantern who remained, however, honorary members of the JSA).
Originally conceived by editor Sheldon Mayer and writer Gardner Fox, in 2006 the series was relaunched with the creative team of writer Geoff Johns, penciller Dale Eaglesham and cover artist Alex Ross, on whose designs this stunning new set of action figures is based.
