Justice League of America: The Last Survivors of Earth!

Justice League of America (1960-1987) (single issues) #77-95

by Dennis O'Neil, Dick Dillin (Penciller)

Without a doubt, the 1970s was a great time for the Justice League of America. Having previously established a core lineup of heroes--including stalwarts like Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman--the league successfully expanded its ranks to include a wide assortment of beloved characters. Featuring stories by fan favorites Denny O'Neil and Mike Friedrich with substantial contributions from artist Dick Dillin, the JLA quickly grew to become a premier and iconic supergroup in the '70s.

Exactly 22,300 miles above the surface of the earth, the new space station headquarters of the Justice League of America floats, serving as both a sanctuary for the World's Greatest Super-Heroes and a sentinel against the vast threats imperiling the planet. From their annual team-ups with the Justice Society of Earth-2 to ecological disasters of the worst magnitude to Thanagarian invaders, the members of the Justice League of America are ready to meet any challenge, even an unexpected infiltration from the Clown Prince of Crime--The Joker!

Reviews

[Dave · Rating 4 out of 5]

This collection is from late 1969 to 1971.
DC was trying to keep up with Marvel comics.
These stories deal with 'Real' problems such as pollution, war, politics and so on...
I enjoyed the stories. Though sometimes the wrap ups seemed too sudden.

Super fun collection of stories! Later silver age fun and if you're interested in this at all you pretty much know what you're getting into. Silly and fun stories with a breakneck pace and dubious science!

Lots of fun and a blast to chew through.

When I was a kid in the '70s DC reprinted a lot of early JLA material, but the stories in this book -- with the exception of the two JLA/JSA crossovers -- I'd never read before. A heavy focus on ecology and pollution but with the action the Justice League is known for. The stories that follow those in this volume are where I started reading friends' copies (The first issue of JLA I remember reading was #113, but friends had earlier issues that I borrowed and sometimes traded for.)

Fun and ridiculous Silver-Age shenanigans.
