™ and © DC Comics, Inc.

A companion piece to the World’s Best Comics: Golden Age Sampler that collected a smattering of Golden Age stories available in DC’s high-quality hardcover Archives series, this 99-cent introduction to the publisher’s Silver Age fare spotlights the Justice League of America, the Legion of Super-Heroes, and Sgt. Rock and offers a complete listing of the available Archives editions. The JLA tale recounts the mission that brought Green Arrow into the ranks of the World’s Greatest Super-Heroes, while the LSH story sees Superboy traveling to the 30th century for the first time to meet up with Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lad. “The Rock of Easy Co.” introduces one of comics’ greatest war heroes. At a cover price that’s under a buck, it’s tough to pass on this fine collection of four-color classics.
