The Justice League of America appeared, fully formed, in the pages of the anthology series, Brave and the Bold #28 in 1960, battling the interstellar starfish called Starro the Conqueror. Writer Gardner Fox felt that the time had come to update the original Golden Age superhero team, The Justice Society of America, but thought that a Society was a bit too genteel, and instead used the term League, bringing to mind a baseball team. The JLA would receive their origin story in Justice League of America #9, where it was revealed that they formed to combat the Appellaxian invaders.

  • The Justice League of America appeared, fully formed, in the pages of the anthology series, Brave and the Bold #28 in 1960, battling the interstellar starfish called Starro the Conqueror. Writer Gardner Fox felt that the time had come to update the original Golden Age superhero team, The Justice Society of America, but thought that a Society was a bit too genteel, and instead used the term League, bringing to mind a baseball team. After the team got their own title, the story goes that one of DC's publishers was playing golf with one of Marvel Comics' head honchos and remarked how popular their team was. True or not, Stan Lee was instructed by Martin Goodman to come up with a new superhero team book for Marvel, The Fantastic Four, debuting in 1961. The cover of that issue would appear strikingly similar to that of the JLA's first appearance. The JLA would receive their origin story in Justice League of America #9, where it was revealed that they formed to combat the Appellaxian invaders. The books would be drawn by artist Dick Dillon, from the late 1960s until the 1980s.
