Justice League of America Appreciation 2023

[MajorHoy]

Hey, do you think the formation of the Justice Society of America was seen on panel in All Star Comics #3 back in 1940?

^^^Hmmm.
I’m gonna guess no.

Actually, we didn't get an "origin" story for the Justice Society until DC Special #29 (August--September 1977)

^^^Sweet!

And, the Atom just punched a horse!!!

^^^Ah yes, the past...:

I would rather Martian Manhunter had been used instead of Cyborg, but he fits the theme, evoking a Hephaestus vibe.

Aktipolis? How did they derive that name from Coast City?

^^^No clue.

Akto means alone in Scandinavian, and this article…

https://www.researchgate.net/publica...hematic_places

…mentions Aktopolis as meaning “City on The Coast”.
It’s really the only thing(s) I managed to find as every search I do keeps giving Acropolis instead!

Well, I guess the past is past so, let’s look to the future…:

I bought that comic on the news stand. I have read it more times than I can count. I have never noticed that Al's punching a horse (or pegasus).

I love the look on the horsey's face. It's like "dude, what the hell, man!"

^^^LOL!!! Damn that made me laugh…

Well, I guess the past is past so, let’s look to the future…:

Martian Manhunter is a shapeshifter, so him looking aged makes no sense.

Time has been kind to Tora I see. Ice doesn't look aged up like the others. Though I guess the fact she already has white hair helps...

^^^I just thought it was cool and wanted to share.

Old and fat. Being a McGuire piece, of course it's a reference to his Bwa-Ha-ha days of "oreos addiction".

Before that stupid Winnick retcon that is best ignored by everyone, Tora was supposed to be an Ice goddess. Those tend to age well.

Anyway, it's a fun piece.

Peace

^^^Glad you liked it!

Maybe the old & fat Martian Manhunter was inspired by David Ogden Stiers when he played the character in the failed pilot movie.
