1st Issue of the Justice League’s Own Series • Key Silver Age DC Classic
The legendary first issue of Justice League of America written by Gardner Fox with pencils by Mike Sekowsky and inks by Bernard Sachs, this foundational issue set the tone for decades of superhero team storytelling and inspired the creation of Marvel’s Avengers just a few years later.
In “The World of No Return!”, the League faces Despero, the telepathic tyrant of Kalanor, who traps them in a deadly interdimensional chess match. It’s classic early Silver Age DC — inventive, colorful, and packed with energy — showcasing the full roster of founding members: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Aquaman, and Martian Manhunter.
