The Brave and the Bold Vol. 1 #28

A lot of well known DC Comics characters were introduced in various anthology books meant to gauge whether or not they were popular enough to come back and maybe lead their own series, and The Brave and the Bold Vol. 1 #28 did something similar by introducing the Justice League. While the comic sees the first appearance of the League, it isn't an origin story to how the team was formed as they're already established and well known. With the exception of Batman and Superman dealing with their own things, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern, and Aquaman have to contend with an invasion from Starro the Conqueror. The comic definitely has the rather dated elements of its time and certain flaws of the Silver Age, but still manages to be fun and engaging. Gardner Fox knew that for the writing to be believable he had to challenge each of the heroes in a way that would mean working together would mean Starro's defeat. Now sure you have the rather silly conclusion of Snapper Carr being able to be immune to Starro's mind control due to being covered in lime, but that's par for the course of this time and the rest of it works much better. The art of the era is pretty good, but since DC knew this needed to hit differently the look for this one definitely needed a big push. And thanks to the work of artist Mike Sekowsky and the coloring of Bernie Sachs, Joe Giella, and Murphy Anderson the comic has a more livelier and detailed style to it. The world of comic books definitely changed in 1960, and all thanks to The Brave and the Bold Vol. 1 #1 introducing the Justice League. Over all: 100%
