Justice Society of America: A Celebration of 75 Years, Gardner Fox, Geoff Johns, et al. — 1st Edition

Publication: Burbank, DC Comics, 2015

Formatting: sm. 4to, pp. 504.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The book is in exceptional, collector-grade condition, with a firm, square, and tight binding, immaculate cloth spine ends, and sharp, unbumped board corners. The unclipped colour pictorial dust jacket retains its brilliant gloss, displaying vivid, unfaded cover artwork and crisp extremities, with only the most trivial whisper of superficial handling along the laminate edges, completely free from tears, creasing, or chipping. Internally, the text block is pristine, showing crisp, snow-white margins, unblemished decorative endpapers, and rich, saturated colour illustration printing throughout, devoid of any foxing, toning, marginalia, or reader wear. The exterior page edges remain smooth and uniformly bright.

Catalogue Note: First edition, first printing, with the full statement of "First Printing" and printing code on the copyright page.

Copiously illustrated in full colour throughout, the volume compiles seminal archival reproductions and modern masterworks, celebrating 75 years of superhero storytelling. It showcases landmark interior sequential art and cover illustrations by legendary masters across the ages, including Everett E. Hibbard, Bernard Baily, Sheldon Moldoff, Joe Kubert, Alex Ross, Jerry Ordway, and Rags Morales.

The copy is entirely unblemished, possessing clean endpapers free from bookplates, institutional markings, or previous ownership inscriptions.

Originally issued to mark the diamond jubilee of the world's very first superhero team, this comprehensive commemorative omnibus has been out of print for several years and is increasingly uncommon on the market in such superior condition.

First introduced in the winter of 1940 within the historic pages of All-Star Comics #3, the Justice Society of America made comic book history as the world’s inaugural superhero ensemble. Bringing together legendary Golden Age crime-fighters—including the original Flash (Jay Garrick), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Hawkman, Doctor Fate, the Sandman, Hourman, the Spectre, and the Atom, later joined by icons such as Wonder Woman and Wildcat—the JSA established the foundational blueprint of the costumed alliance and the shared comic universe.

Justice Society of America: A Celebration of 75 Years offers a sweeping, definitive retrospective of this venerated pantheon across seven and a half decades. Gathering essential milestones from wartime battles and landmark Silver Age multiverse crossovers ("Crisis on Earth-One!" and "Crisis on Earth-Two!") to modern revivals scripted by Roy Thomas, Geoff Johns, and David S. Goyer, this deluxe collection forms an indispensable archival tribute to comic history's foundational heroes.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
