The Justice League of America welcomed the start of the 1970s with these tales from issues #77-84, #86-92, #94 and #95! In these stories that reflected the social issues of the day, the World’s Greatest Heroes are betrayed by Snapper Carr, who’s being manipulated by The Joker.

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.
