Our Hostess ad is the Joker again in "The Cornered Clown" located inside the front cover.

and now..."A TALE OF TWO SATELLITES!"

On the JLA satellite, Superman and Wonder Woman are now getting around to talking about her recent behavior. He says team members have noticed her being a bit on edge lately and wants to hear her side. Wonder Woman complains about still being on trial and Superman says, "So it's a women's lib thing." Wonder Woman says it's a "Wonder Woman thing" and she's fed up being treated like former mascot, Snapper Carr. She then quits the JLA and storms out leaving the rest of the team to say, "What's this all about Superman?" The look Dillin draws on Superman's face is priceless.

Wonder Woman arrives back in New York and sees Poison Ivy and Scarecrow robbing a bank. There seems to be a third man in a pirate outfit with them too. She knocks down the pirate as the other two run off. Poison Ivy calls the pirate man "Privateer" and uses a weapon to make a nearby bush trap both Wonder Woman and him. She breaks out and he escapes too with the help of a familiar baton. The Privateer is former Manhunter. Mark Shaw, out to make himself a name in the superhero game and Wonder Woman has blown his first case. Wonder Woman is upset about making a mistake and punches a hole in a nearby wall. Privateer offers to talk over dinner. Poison Ivy and Scarecrow are counting their loot and remembering their time in the Injustice Gang. Scarecrow says they should head back to the satellite, but Poison Ivy is sure the JLA has trapped it. Suddenly she gets a strange glow in her eyes and changes her mind. They head to the old teleporter in the city and beam up.

Meanwhile, back in the JLA satellite, the action is just getting started! Batman's not happy with Flash and Green Arrow getting Wonder Woman to quit. Green Arrow calls him "Bats" and Batman firmly tells him not to call him that. Green Arrow says he'll call him whatever he wants and Batman one punches him right to the floor! Only in my dreams, instead Superman gets in between the two and tells them to break it up. Green Arrow decides to quit and gets Flash to meekly go along for the ride. Green Lantern and Black Canary go with them to try to talk some sense into them. Aquaman tells them good riddance and Green Arrow says "So long suckers!" Elongated Man decides to go home to his wife and Atom tells his new best buddy Aquaman to accompany him to Ivy Town because it's getting to crazy here. In a half and hour and a few pages the JLA has been disassembled. Try that Bendis! Superman explains to Batman that the JLA was very important to him, he owes a debt to the other heroes for being there, and as chairman he should have done more to keep it alive.

Wonder Woman and Privateer are having dinner in a restaurant when she thinks she hears him say something insulting. She rises up with a weird look in her eyes and pushes the table on Privateer. The waiter isn't happy with her either and she dumps an entire cabinet of dishes on top of him! She flies off and starts thinking about how much she liked Mark Shaw and how he betrayed her. Suddenly, she feels someone trying to take over her mind and she tries to fight it off and falls to the ground. When she wakes up her eyes have the same glow Poison Ivy's had earlier.   She enters the same building Poison Ivy and Scarecrow went into and a strange voice tells her to take off a tracking device that Privateer had slipped on her. Meanwhile, Privateer is trying to find an invisible teleporter tube when Batman arrives. He offers to help Privateer search for Wonder Woman while Superman handles all the possible worldwide emergencies.

While he stays in the JLA satellite, Wonder Woman arrives in the Injustice Gang's satellite on the other side of Earth's orbit. Poison Ivy and Scarecrow are a bit shocked, but she's not moving to capture them. Suddenly, a robot image appears in the satellite with the mysterious voice from before. It is Construct II and it is sure of two things, it is the second of its knid and it hates the Justice League. He downloaded his mind into that satellite's computers and found out about the Injustice Gang. He used some mental persuasion on the villains and Wonder Woman to get them there. Scarecrow is feeling a bit uneasy about it, but another blast from Construct II brings him firmly on board. Wonder Woman is struggling against the control, but she has a plan to defeat the JLA by striking at the JLA satellite and she will deal with Superman personally.

Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Black Canary and Flash are in Central City trying to get Ollie to change his mind about quitting. Mirror Master comes along and the team is about to capture him when he disappears. Black Canary thinks about using the satellite's sensors, but Green Arrow gives her a disapproving look. Batman and Privateer enter the building from earlier and are trapped by lasers. Batman uses a batarang to disable the machine and escape. Privateers asks if they should bring in the rest of the JLA and Batman says no. Aquaman is skating on a pond in Ivy Town. Atom is on his shoulder with a tiny little scarf and they are discussing the recent JLA events. Elongated Man is off with his wife and we won't see him again this issue. Suddenly, the two of them are frozen by Chronos. He puts the frozen Atomstick on a clock that will slice him in half. Before he's killed, Chronus disappears and so does the trap. atom tells Aquaman he doesn't need the JLA's help in tracking him down.

Superman is in the JLA library looking at all the team's cases. He mentions their first case with Martian Manhunter. There is this editor's note below,"Reader: think you know what the first case was? Check with us next month for a surprise!" It would be another fifteen years before I read the original Silver Age JLA origin. Wonder Woman arrives to talk. She then tries to lasso him, but he runs away. He can see she is fighting some sort of mind control as she mentions a "master." After a bit of action back and forth, Wonder Woman arrives at the terminal controlling America's Defense Command. If Superman doesn't surrender and get caught in the magic lasso, she'll launch the nuclear missiles! Wonder Woman puts the lasso around him and commands him to shut up. She calls the "master" and tells him the JLA satellite is secure.

In Chicago Hawkman and Hawkgirl run into the Tattooed Man, who also disappears before he is captured. They haven't been part of the festivities yet and they do send out a JLA Alert to get help. The various teams respond that their cases match Hawkman's. Batman notes that they were all members of the Injustice Gang. Then they get a call from Superman telling them all to beam up to the JLA Satellite. He is under Wonder Woman's command and the plan is to have them really beam into a trap on the Injustice Gang's satellite. Superman tells himself that the strain of Wonder Woman's fight against the mental domination is killing her. Flash finds Superman's alert suspicious because he referred to their last meeting so casually. Green Arrow remembers the Injustice Gang has their own satellite. Green Lantern gathers up the entire team and they're off!

The entire team crashes through the satellite's window and taking the Injustice League by surprise. Things go well for the JLA as Construct II isn't helping his team as they thought. Scarecrow finally takes action by using a fear beam on the JLA. Flash runs around him and the Injustice Gang to deflect the fear beam back at him. The mental strain is causing Construct II to fall apart and Green LAntern gets everyone out before the satellite explodes. The villains can't remember who the mysterious master was. The JLA has learned its lesson about staying together and Superman holds a sobbing liberated Wonder Woman as we exit.

The End!

JLA Mailroom: The readers really like Steve Englehart's debut. The editor talks about the JLA movie casting. Everyone wants Lynda Carter for Wonder Woman and Farrah Fawcett-Majors for Black Canary. He ponders husband Lee (Six Million Dollar Man) Majors in a blond goatee as Green Arrow.

STORY: A-
What a rollercoaster ride that was! Fortunately, the breakup and reunion only took one issue. These days we'd need six issues to break them up, two years of Superman and some new members while keeping tabs on the old members, then a six issue restoration.

ART: B+
Mostly good, but there were some weird Wonder Woman necks along the way.

COVER: B+
This is Dick Dillin's first cover since issue #84 in 1970.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: C+
Mark Shaw gets some development and the Construct will return again shortly.

Up next...The REAL origin of the Justice League of America!

Maybe he needed him to gum up the works.

ROLL CALL (present day): Superman, Green Lantern and Green Arrow

ROLL CALL (flashback): J'onn J'onzz, Adam Strange, Hal Jordan, Roy Raymond TV Detective, Rip Hunter and ...



Our Hostess ad is once again Joker in "The Cornered Clown" in the inside front cover.

The 100 Issues Ago feature is Justice League of America #44 "The Plague That Struck the Justice League."

and now..."THE ORIGIN OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE--MINUS ONE!"

In the JLA Satellite Green Arrow has learned how to read and discovers that the original origin of the JLA is a lie! He confronts Superman and Green Lantern and interrupt their game of gin rummy. Green Arrows gets Green Lantern to confirm that he got his start in September 1959. (The Editor Notes indicate that this is keeping with cover dates of comics and that super heroes have ways of not aging) Green Arrow remembers that when he was told the JLA origin in February 1962 (issue #9) Green Lantern was a big part of it and that it had happened three years ago. That would be February 1959, seven months before he became Green Lantern! Superman says they're caught red handed and Green Lantern says the reason it's been kept a secret is long gone. They make their way to the video room and J'onn J'onzz appears on the screen and tells that the person viewing this story should be aware that this was kept secret not out of fear of them, but the times.

We go all the way back to 1955 as J'onn starts his story be telling his origin. As he goes about as his new identity of Detective John Jones we witness scenes of American paranoia from the 1950s: UFOs, bomb shelters, the Cold War and of course comic books. J'onn found the combination of prosperity and paranoia rather curious. He spends the next few years trying to build a new robot brain and avoiding detection. On February 11, 1959, we see a young David Brinkley bringing us up do date on the latest battle between Superman and Lex Luthor (Action #249) on the tv as J'onn thinks it may be time to announce himself to the public. Suddenly, he's confronted by a squad of white martians led by General Blanx. In the present, Green Arrow notes the three of them fought Blanx before (JLA #71) and the other two acted as if they never heard of the guy.  J'onn's ray has found Mars near his home in exile and Blanx traced the beam back to Earth. J'onn uses the faucet labelled "fire" to put the room into an inferno and escape. In his human form, he's more resistant to fire. The robot brain is destroyed and he thinks Blanx and his men have returned home and he's trapped on Earth forever.

The next morning Detective Jones hears about a bunch of white skinned aliens running around in downtown Middletown. He changes into his Martian guise and takes on Blanx and his men. A wall is knocked down and the Flash arrives on the scene. J'onn goes invisible, but the Flash dealt with that trick last week against Mirror Master. (Flash #105) He knocks down J'onn and he becomes visible to tell Flash that he is on the side of justice. From a building above there is the scream and one man aims his rifle at the Martian. Flash runs up the building to stop the rifleman and all the Martians escape. Flash deals with the nervous public and the rifleman tells Flash "How do we know you're not a Martian? I never knew any man who could run like you." Flash runs across the city looking for the Martians and runs by Detective Jones. He arrives at City Hall with a large mob. Flash admits that he couldn't find the Martians and the mob starts getting hysterical with claims about Martians they've seen. Flash calms them by announcing that he's calling in Superman to lead the investigation. At least that alien is a national hero.

Flash has never met any other superheroes at this point and runs to Metropolis wondering how he can get Superman's attention. He runs to the top of the Metro Tower and is spotted by Superman as well has his frequent partners, Batman and Robin. They offer their help and Batman wonders if they should call in more heroes like Aquaman and Green Arrow. Flash wants to keep a lid on it for now, but as they fly off a man calls noted TV Detective Roy Raymond.

Back in Middletown, J'onn is searching for the other Martians. He spies a man fainting when he gets near a blowtorch and knows he has found them. J'onn reaches for Blanx and he turns into J'onn's John Jones form. The others turn back into Martians and cause panic in the crowd. J'onn tries to run off, but Blanx shoots him with a raygun. The police find that "John Jones" has captures a green Martian and he offer to take it to the police station. By the time our other four heroes arrive, it turns out that this John Jones and his Martian captive never arrived. Roy Raymond arrives on the scene and tells the heroes he will put the entire story on his show tonight and the publicity should generate a lot of help. The help that arrived by the next morning is seen in the Roll Call above. Back in the present Green Arrow reveals he was trying to protect his secret identity when an expedition discovered Starfish Island. (Adventure #256) He and Speedy stayed for a while on vacation and missed out on this case. In the past, Batman notes the large response and tells everyone to split into teams. Teams are chosen and Batman confides in Robin that this has turned into a circus. Robin claims that they could do this better on their own.


Our first team consists of the Blackhawks, Plastic Man and Jimmy Olsen. While flying they get a reading of a large energy signature. When they approach the cabin that is the source of this, they are attacked by machine gun fire. The Blackhawks take down the shooter, but are then fired upon by another as Plastic Man saves them. He notes you can't get blood out of plastic. The gunman escapes into the cabin. The Blackhawks break down the down while Plastic Man goes down the chimney. However, the cabin is empty. Jimmy asks the Blackhawks what they are going to tell the others and they stuff him in a trash can. It turns out that the men were Jeff Smith and Rip Hunter testing out their brand new Time Machine. They made their comic debut the following month in Showcase #20.

Our second team had Robotman, Congo Bill and Congorilla, Vigilante, the Challengers of the Unknown and Lois Lane. The rest of the team gathers as Vigilante has run into a couple of campers that encountered a flying man using a raygun. As they arrive at the campsite they see the man and he flies off. Robotman tries to follow, but the mystery man is much too fast. Everyone chases off after him, but Lois Lane is wondering why an invisible man needs to stay visible and come back to the same spot. She decides to stay at the campsite. Congo Bill stops his truck and changes minds with Congorilla. The golden gorilla tracks down the flying man near a stream and grasps his foot. The man flies off with the gorilla in tow as the rest of the team tries to catch up. They reach the campsite and the flying man drops Congorilla on top of Lois and then disappears. It turns out our mysterious flying man is Adam Strange and he was returning back to Rann. The Zeta beam was in North America at the time because a Sputnik satellite had deflected it.

Our final team consists of Superman, Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Roy Raymond and Rex the Wonder Dog. They arrive at Cape Canaveral to meet a pilot named Hal Jordan that was testing out the craft for tomorrow's launch.  He claims to have been shot by one of the Martians and the team decides to investigate the rocket. Hal, a fool born without fear the General claims, insists on tagging along. Rex scents something on the rocket and Superman blasts it with his heat vision to make the creatures visible. The weakened Martians fall to the ground. Blanx attacks Superman and claims that since he is from another world he is invincible on Earth. Superman tells him his power is out of this world too and knocks him out. Wonder Woman downs another one, but Aquaman is feeling a little queasy. Flash brings in water from the Atlantic and Aquaman takes out a Martian. Batman and Robin rescue J'onn from the rocket. He was to be killed by being shot into space.  J'onn explains that he is not like the others and gives the heroes the secret Martian weakness. One more heat vision blast from Superman and the fight is over.

Superman tells the others that he will fly Blanx and his men back to Mars. He offers to take J'onn too, but he wants to stay on Earth. He tells the others that on Mars evil had won and the planet he loved was gone. But on Earth he could still fight for the forces of justice. Flash states that he can't come out to the public now with all the Martian hysteria. Aquaman tells him he needs to wait six months for the public to cool off. Wonder Woman says he should come out with the backing of the other heroes. Superman comes up with the idea that they should all form a club or a society. Batman's not sure as he claims to be not much of a joiner, but Superman tells him to take six months to consider it. Hal Jordan and Roy Raymond pledge not to reveal what happened that night and the whole thing is written off as Martian hysteria. Rex claims to be busy with matters of far greater importance (he's like the Phantom Stranger) and doesn't join. Six months later, the original seven Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and J'onn J'onzz had their first official case.

On the tape, J'onn tells the viewer that they had always cherished this original case as it opened the world to him. Green Arrow leaves the room as he has something in his eye.

The End!


JLA Mailroom: The readers all loved Englehart's first full issue in #140.


STORY: A
This is the best of the 51 stories presented in this thread. It is among the best JLA stories of all time. The use of the 1959 setting is stellar and how Englehart puts together all that comic book history is a masterclass performance.

ART: A-
Dillin does a great job of making everyone look as they did in 1959.

COVER: B
Good cover, but where are those in the upper right coming from?

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: A-
For myself, this is the official JLA origin. The White Martians would be used in the origin story for Grant Morrison's JLA in the 1990s. Darwyn Cooke's DC: The New Frontier is a bit like it, but Englehart did it all in just 33 pages.

The next month DC turned the trick again for a great super team origin with the Untold Origin of the JSA in DC Special #29.

Up next...Superman dies! (again)

My hometown was originally called Middletown. It changed its name in later in the 19th Century due to another town with the same name.

I have no idea why the Englehart JLA stories haven't made their way into a collected edition yet. Mycomicshop.com lists a FINE copy of JLA #144 at $4.00.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #144 - is one of my favorites as well and I do have a copy of it.

ROLL CALL: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkman, Black Canary, Red Tornado, Phantom Stranger and Hawkgirl


Hostess is still selling baseball cards.

Our 100 Issues Ago feature is Justice League of America #46 "Crisis Between Earth One and Earth Two!"

and now..."INNER MISSION!"

On a hill outside Rutland, Vermont, Red tornado has returned to life, again. The member most suspicious of his return is, of course, Batman and he begins giving him the third degree. No, wait, this is a job for Superman! He's doubting the return of Red Tornado. (Batman backs him up though) Superman scans for signs of T.O. Morrow, but can't find him. Batman asks Phantom Stranger to look him over. Unfortunately, he's an expert in matters spiritual not science. Red Tornado is about to go, but Superman asks him a few more questions. The last is what is the secret origin of the JLA and he answers correctly. Superman proclaims that only the original members know the story and Red Tornado must be an imposter! He keeps the JLA at bay for a moment, but then a strange voice speaks out that he still hates the JLA. Then Red Tornado goes limp again. The JLA deduces that The Construct has returned again with version 3.0. Hearing the name triggers Wonder Woman to recall her time as an unwitting pawn of someone and she suspects the Construct. Hawkman decides now is the time to get his wife into the JLA since they need as many people to help as they can. Superman doesn't want the JLA to be any army. Phantom Stranger decides to act like a member for once and proposes that they table her membership until the case is over. He also suggests that the team split up with half meeting those who had encountered the Construct and the other half following up Wonder Woman's lead. Then he acts like the Phantom Stranger and leaves because he doesn't think he is of any further use on the case. The team leaves Red Tornado's body lying on the ground until they can return to give it a proper burial. Once they have left, Red Tornado;s arm begins to stir!

Superman is flying with Batman and Green Arrow in his arms and he's wondering why the team members have gotten so mule headed lately. Batman says the team has as much spirit as ever, but it's just going in new directions. Green Arrow is sure the team will never do themselves in. Superman dives into the ocean since they are going to meet up with Aquaman and Atom in Atlantis. Batman and Green Arrow get nice air helmets while Atom is moving around in a little mobile bubble that Atlantean scientists built for him. They tell those new to the case that the Construct is back. Atom is sure he had destroyed him, but he remembers something Willow told him and tells the others that a new Construct won't remember fighting them. It will remember that it hates the JLA however. Before they can come up with a plan, Atom abandons his new vehicle because the Construct could be in there. Under New York City we see the robot visage of Construct III watching the JLA. He was controlling Red Tornado, but now is unable to hear the JLA's plans. He takes control of a laser cannon about a block away and hits the room in which the JLA is meeting. While the rest deal with the cannon, the Atom takes advantage of a distracted Construct and traces the broadcast beam back to where his lair is, Manhattan!

The rest of the team is on Paradise Island, except Hawkman who has to keep himself in the air. As Hippolyta arrives, the Hawks have a conversation about Hawkgirl's membership. She doesn't want to divide the JLA over the issue. Hawkman vows that the team can have both Hawks or none. Wonder Woman is going to try to restore her memory with the Memory Chair. Paradise Island is shielded against Construct's broadcasts, but will the "firewall" hold? As she uses the machine the shields around Paradise Island heat up, but they hold. Wonder Woman springs out of the chair with her memories intact and she's ticked off. She tells the team that it was Construct II that controlled her. She also now knows had to destroy the Constructs forever.

Meanwhile, Red Tornado slowly gets himself in the air and starts to fly toward Manhattan. The rest of the JLA is already on the scene and Wonder Woman reveals the Construct's exact location, a hidden lair under the World Trade Center. The team enters the building and the building manager shows them the computer room. He doesn't want the team to rip them apart while looking for some monster. The last monster near that building fell to the street outside and was easy to find. The Atom notices some odd wires and the manager notes those shouldn't be there. Green Arrow shoots an arrow into the controls and a hallway opens up that leads down to the Construct's lair. The team finds the Construct and knocks over the body, but it is lifeless. The Construct has escaped again! Then Red Tornado arrives The team still doesn't trust him. Superman tells Wonder Woman, Hawkman, Hawkgirl and Black Canary to keep him prisoner. The rest of the team departs for Metropolis so they can get a bite to eat and Clark Kent can do his newscast. That is not a joke and I did not make that last sentence up.

Red Tornado's pleas to let him go are met with deaf ears until he talks to Hawkgirl. His speech moves her and she claims that the Construct couldn't forge those feelings and it must be the real Red Tornado. She convinces the others and Red Tornado says he can follow the Construct's mind. He leads them to the Galaxy Communications Building in Metropolis. They enter the TV studio and find it empty until the tv cameras start attacking them. Red Tornado deals with them and the rest of the team is set upon by the rest of the mentally controlled JLA, plus Lois and Jimmy. An image of the Construct appears on the monitors. He declares that all machines bend to his will and any human that feels anger will also come into his control. He will enter the GBS Network and every viewer in the country that feels anger--in short, all of them-- will become his mindless slaves. He and his slaves are mad as Hell and they're not going to take this anymore! Red Tornado confronts him and vows that he does not feel anger as the Construct tries to take control of him again. Red Tornado falls to the ground and Hawkgirl runs over to tell him that she believes in him and that he must believe in himself. The Construct attacks again, but this time he has to use too much power and he blows his own circuitry. Wonder Woman sets up a loop in the machine so the Construct is trapped.

After the case is over, Red Tornado returns to duty along side the team's newest member, Hawkgirl.

The End!
