Key issue specialists focus your bidding powers on this important DC comic book. Dated 10-11/60, this Justice League of America #1 inaugural issue continues to hold down a spot on the list of "Top 20 Silver Age Comics" year after year. This keystone issue stars the original JLA line-up of Aquaman, Batman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Wonder Woman, who take on villain Despero in his first appearance. Fronted by DC's most venerable characters, this iconic team holds a special place in the hearts of fans as the leaders of the early '60s resurgence of the super-hero genre, both in the pages of the JLA series and their individual comic titles. Bestowed with a very respectable grade of (7.0) by CGC, this desirable example also enjoys a Census rank of "1/40" at the 7.0 tier, with 68 higher out of a considerable Universal Grade population of 951. Label notations are: Off-White Pages, Gardner Fox story, Mike Sekowsky and Bernard Sachs art, Murphy Anderson cover, Origin and 1st appearance of Despero, Letter from Roy Thomas".
