DC's tribute to Julius Schwartz concludes with this one-shot, inspired by the cover to JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #53. Peter David and acclaimed author Harlan Ellison team with classic Silver Age artist Joe Giella (BATMAN) for one story, while Marv Wolfman (THE NEW TEEN TITANS) and Dustin Nguyen (BATMAN) take the challenge for a second tale.

The cover of THE FLASH (original series) #163 inspires two remarkable stories, in which the Scarlet Speedster begs readers to pick up the issue because his "life depends on it!" Taking up the challenge are the teams of Dennis O'Neil and Doug Mahnke and the SUPERMAN/BATMAN team of Loeb, McGuinness and Vines!

Superman! Batman! Wonder Woman! The Flash! Green Lantern! Aquaman! The Martian Manhunter! The Justice League of America in its very own series! But will their first adventure be their last? Featuring the first appearance of the mind-controlling villain Despero!

A unique combination of comic-book illustration and prose, this super-hero biography follows the Flash from his humble childhood to his noble death, detailing his transformation from medical police scientist to one of the DC Universe's most dynamic heroes.

Don't miss the Metal Men's adventures against The Clique, living mannequins, an ancient god, at the Department of Motor Vehicles and more. Plus, from SILVER AGE: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #1, the team meets Batman, Green Arrow and Black Canary! NOTE: some issues are available individually online.
