Over the years comic books have become an integral part of growing up and most children at some stage in their life will read and enjoy these. Comic books have been around for 70 years or more and there are many types and genres to choose from. However the most popular must surely be the superhero variety and the number of Hollywood movies made in recent years featuring superheroes from comic books certainly demonstrates this.

Most people in the world will be aware of the most famous superheroes such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, but fewer will be aware that a number of these individual characters were formed into a team for a comic book series known as the Justice League of America. Also know as the Justice League, the comic book was created in the early 1960’s by DC Comics and followed on from an earlier publication in which the superhero team was know as the Justice Society of America.

While the earlier comic book featured less well known superheroes, when it was updated to the Justice League, many of the well-know superheroes of the time were included in the team. Legend has it that the creator of the updated version, Gardner Fox, was impressed with the popularity of sport and so used League rather than Society in the name of this new comic book.

The Justice League debuted in 1960, in a publication called The Brave and the Bold and featured seven of the DC Comic superhero characters of the time. These included the well known characters Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman. The members of the team which are perhaps less well known included Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and Martian Manhunter.

Initially the team worked from a secret cave location near to the town of Happy Harbor, and in their first outing they came up against a giant space starfish known as Starro the Conqueror. The team mascot was a teenager called Snapper Carr who was an official member of the team and helped on their missions. However after being tricked into revealing the location of the team’s secret headquarters in a later edition of the comic, Carr resigned from the team. He has not been the only change in the team’s lineup and many other superheroes have played a part in the Justice League over the years including, amongst others, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Firestorm and Red Tornado.

After the location of their secret hideout was revealed the Justice league moved to new headquarters in later editions of the comic, this being an orbiting satellite. During this period there was generally a 12 member limit to the team with characters joining and leaving as the stories progressed. In its heyday the Justice League was one of DC Comics most popular comic books and over the years it won a number of awards. However its popularity began to wane in the 1980’s and a move from their satellite headquarters to a base in Detroit, along with a significant change in the lineup, proved unpopular in 1984.

After 261 editions, publication of the Justice League was discontinued in 1986. However the idea of a team of superheroes popularized by the Justice League during its 26 year history has led to a number of modern incarnations of the format. This has included Justice League International and JLA, but these comic books never really achieved the success of the original Justice League.

Superheroes are a special breed, which have regularly saved America and the world in comic book history. While individual superheroes have incredible powers, a team of these makes for a formidable opponent and the popularity of the Justice League during its heyday showed that comic book fans greatly enjoyed the idea of a team of superheroes.
