Owner's Description
In the “Secret of the Sinister Sorcerers”, when all man-made machines on Earth stop working, the JLA band together to try and figure out the cause of this latest crisis and soon learn that magic has become the dominant force in their universe. Meanwhile in the other worldly dimension known as Magic-Land, evil magicians Simon Magus, Saturna, and the Troll King have used their combined magic to transport items of science to that realm to try and over throw it's ruler and his great magician Merlin.
While back in the Earth dimension, the JLA realize that magic spells now work, and so they get a number of books on sorcery to summon Merlin to aid them. When they realize what has happened, Merlin uses his now restored magical powers to transport the Justice League members to the realm of Magic while Snapper Carr and Merlin stay behind on Earth.
The Justice League pair off into groups to stop Magus and his two cohorts, using their super powers and cunning to get past all their traps and easily destroy whichever scientific device they are using as defense. Afterwards, they capture Magus and demand that he return to their world and restore everything to normal. However, before traveling through the gate between worlds it appears that they have to contend with a giant. Before the battle begins the giant reveals itself as Snapper Carr. Apparently as the JLA was capturing the trio of magicians, Snapper experimented with some of Merlin's Magic and transformed himself into a giant. Luckily, Merlin's magic is restored, and he transforms Snapper back to his original form. Merlin returns to Magic Land, and thte JLA returns to Earth with the sorcerers' spells reversed.
Our book is one of five 9.6s topping the census. We acquired the book from a friend and fellow collector in a private transaction in May 2020.
April 2023 Update: One of the five 9.6s in the census has been upgraded to a 9.8 and my life is now officially over. What can I say, mommas don’t let your babies grow up to collect comics, it’s a heartless hobby.
May 2023 Update: There is also now a fifth 9.6 to go along with the 9.8. Needless to say, for whatever reason, this is by far the most common early JLA in high grade and should be priced accordingly for any new collectors. Don’t overpay for this one.
