Justice League of America #1 Ad

The ad that started it all! What kid could have possibly turned this book down?

Justice League of America #8 Ad

sg
One of thousands of quarter-page ads DC did in the 1950s and 1960s, where you could just drop two different covers in ad infinitum. I found this in an issue of Wonder Woman--naturally, if you're reading Diana's solo title, maybe you'll like this other book she's in!

Justice League of America #53 Ad

sg
Very charming and dynamic ad for Justice League of America #53, presumably designed by DC's in-house genius Ira Schnapp. How he managed to get so much info in such a tiny space and yet not make the ad look crowded is still a mystery to me, and I've been looking at these ads since I was a kid.

Justice League of America #71 Ad

sg
Pretty simple ad for Justice League of America #71, though I have to admit I'm not sure what, if anything, "point of no return" is referring to. Is it Blanx's attack on Mars? Manhunter's dedication to his home planet, which eventually pulls him out of the JLA? Or is it just about the cover? We'll never know.

Also, I feel like someone at the last minute realized the ad didn't mention when the book went on sale, so they grabbed a pen and squeezed it in.
