Owner's Description
Issue #62 with its black cover has always been a tough find for any JLA collector.
In 1945, an investigative reporter drowned in Lake Michamaw. Lost with him was a box of incriminating evidence he had compiled. Now the box is found, and industrial engineer Harold Loomis is revealed to be the son of gangster Leo Locke, while archeologist Homer Gridley is exposed as a former fraud. The two unite to find and take revenge upon whoever found the evidence against them and turned it over to the newspapers. Flash is drawn into the case by his brother-in-law, the editor of the paper that first published the information, and he in turn involves the Justice League. While investigating, the members become involved in a gang war between the Pyrotekniks, criminals using special "fireworks" weapons, and the Bulleteers, their rivals. They capture the first gang, and discover the leader to be Leo Locke, who found the box of evidence, and exposed his own son as part of a plot to trap his rivals. Now that he is in jail, he will not be able to protect Loomis as planned, so he begs the JLA to do so for him. Finding Loomis and Gridley and taking them to a safe place, the super-heroes invade the Bulleteers' headquarters, and, after evading a series of traps, capture the gang.
Our copy is one of four 9.4s with a single 9.6 topping the census. For us, this book breaks a run of twelve issues in which we own a highest graded example (#50-#61). We acquired our book in a private transaction with a friend and fellow collector in May 2020.
