Owner's Description
In Issue #19, “The Super-Exiles of Earth”, each Justice League members is shocked when their doppelgangers get the drop on them. While the real Justice League are knocked out, the impostors commit crimes for which the real Leaguers are blamed. After being arrested, they plead Not Guilty in court and with the help of Jean Loring they are exiled from Earth.
In space the League begins to figure out how they can return to Earth and clear their names. Deciding to return to the Earth in their civilian guises, the Justice League reveal their true identities to each other for the first time. Battling their doppelgangers, the League manage to defeat their impostors.
Clearing their names, the League soon learns that Dr. Destiny created a device that, in conjunction with the evil side of their minds, created the duplicate League members. After destroying Destiny's device, the Justice League ensures that Destiny will be placed in solitary so he cannot create another devastating machine. To protect their loved ones, each member of the League agrees to be exposed to Amnesium from Superman's Fortress of Solitude to forget their memory of their true identities from one another.
I am not sure why, but Issue #19 has always been one of the toughest issues to find in high grade, with our recently graded 9.6 being the single highest graded copy of this issue as of this writing. We acquired the book off the CL Exchange in May 2025. We may have overpaid, but prices in this title have been all over the place of late and we did get it at 20% below the ask. Honestly, who knows? The book replaced a WP 9.4 and we have of late tried to not chase upgrades and instead concentrate on filling empty slots; however, with this title we have highest graded copies of all but one issue in the first 28-at least we did prior to the grading of this book-so we decided to go for it. Whether we did well will depend upon where the census goes from here. Obviously, we hope that it remains atop the census alone for a very long time.
