Description

DC Special #29 (1977) - While the comic book was on the stands a few years before my time, I was able to read this 1st ever origin of the JSA issue as a reprint in one of those 1980's DC Digest's.

Staton's GA Flash may have been the best ever, and the early Layton inks are amazing.

This page also appeared in:
Alter Ego 6 p39 [TwoMorrows 2000]
Alter Ego 14 p18 [TwoMorrows 2002]

Thanks to Lloyd for the second chance at this gem that once resided in the collection of Jerry Bails.

Wanted pages, Top dollar paid! :
- interior pages from DC Special #29
- All-Star Squadron preview in JLA 193 and issue 4
- Justice League of America 207 p1 and 23

Fantastic acquisition!

Interesting to see how Joe tried to keep an element of the 40s/50s Batman look and at the same time conform to the then standard 70s Aparo/Adams cowl with extended ears look.

So agree with you about the Staton/Layton team just look at that final panel....it is beautiful and historic.

The first and last panels frame this page perfectly. Just such beautiful execution.
