Owner's Description

Issue #9 is a key as it reveals for the first time the Origin of the JLA. It commences with a gathering to celebrate the third anniversary of the formation of the Justice League, at which time the founding members tell Snapper Carr and Green Arrow the story of how the team first got together.

Aliens from the planet Appellax came to Earth following the death of their ruler in order for a representatives of each race to vie for leadership over the planet by waging war on Earth. The last remaining after their war would become Appellax's leader. Each Appellaxian was encased in a meteor and rocketed to Earth. After each of the creatures emerged from their meteor pods, they used their special abilities to tranform Earth's inhabitants - humans and animals alike - into beings that resembled their individual makeups. Following their arrival the members of the Justice League, though not yet in league with one another, started confronting the creatures.

Martian Manhunter fought a stone being, and after his success travels to another meteor that has not yet birthed a creature. But, upon his arrival begins to transform to wood. The same happened to the others, they'd fight the nearest opponent and then travel to the one that transformed Martian Manhunter into wood, and become wood themselves. Eventually Aquaman, Green Lantern, Flash and Wonder Woman all became trapped and are slowly transformed into trees. However, they worked together combining their powers and abilities to free themselves, stop the tree-like alien, and restore themselves to normal.

Traveling to the north, they teamed up with Batman and Superman who were already facing the final invader, whose meteor's Kryptonite composition was weakening the Man of Steel. Defeating this final foe and saving Superman, the assembled group of heroes then decide to work again in the future. And thus, the Justice League of America was born.

Our WP 9.8 is one two highest graded examples and is of the gems of our collection, as the colors are absolutely stunningly. We acquired the book in the 12/8/2021 CL Auction. Prior to this book being graded by CGC, we owned the single highest graded copy of this issue, but while it’s very nice, this one is out of this world and is one of the most beautiful books in our entire collection. As you can see from the scans, it’s simply flawless, at least to my eyes. I don’t like the idea of 9.9s, but this one merits such distinction.
