Golden Age Justice Society of America Appreciation 2019

[MajorHoy]

to continue from the previous version created by dr-brainwave, which can be found at Golden Age Justice Society of America Appreciation! . . .

. . . Welcome to the "original JSA" appreciation thread, here we can celebrate the first and most important super team ever created!

This thread is dedicated to the original Golden Age JSA, to be more precise it's about the 18 heroes who joined the JSA during the GA (Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Carter Hall, Rex Tyler, Kent Nelson, Wesley Dodds, Al Pratt, Johnny Thunder, Dinah Drake, Ted Knight, Charles Mc Nider, Wonder Woman, Jim Corrigan, Clark Kent, Ted Grant, Terry Sloan, Ma Hunkel and Bruce Wayne), the villains, the supporting cast, the creative teams, publication history...

By the way, if you haven't already checked them out, there are a few polls I created a while back on "Favorite Members" of the JSA.
The first two, which include the Golden Age members, can be found at:

* Justice Society Poll I: Who are your favorite Golden Age regular members?
and
* Justice Society Poll II: Who are your favorite members (1961-1999)?
since some of those included on Poll II may have worked with the JSA in the Golden Age on occasion, but were not presented as regular, full-time members back then.
(And the polls limited me on how many choices could be included on a single poll.)

This poster was my intro to the JSA when I discovered it in my neighbor's old comic box. I spent many years waiting for some of those characters to show up in a JLA/JSA team-up! (Generally we only got 5 members at a time, once a year). It also boggled my mind that there was ANOTHER Batman & Superman out there.
I wish the funny books still did stuff like this & the Legion rosters to help catch up new readers.

And, there was also this

showing both the (then) "present-day" (1981) members of the Justice League of America as well as the Justice Society of America
(from Justice League of America #195 (October 1981))

as well as

from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe Vol. XII (February 1986) to show two others.
(And, yeah, I loved when they gave us stuff like that, too.)

Currently reading the JSA's re emergence into the silver age as I go through the JLA series. It's pretty good.

This is the next issue I'm up to in reading through the JLA series.

Gotta say it's exciting to think we'll see the JSA on the big screen. I hope they translate well!

By the by, has anyone heard from MajorHoy? He used to post very often and it's been a few months since his last post. Hope he's well.

I have wondered about him myself. Hope he’s well!

Perez was, hands down, my fave JL artist. However, this was, hands down, my fave JSA illustration.

Thanks for opening this new thread Major. Let's hope Doomsday Clock will bring back this wonderful team as soon as possible.

Some of this team anyway.

A true Justice Society would need it's own earth - Earth 2.

If it shares a world with the JLA, then we get a scaled-down version. But they are still good.
