This issue begins an untold tale of the Justice League when it was headquartered in Detroit during the 1980's- one of my favorite incarnations! Aquaman had disbanded the original group of the "World's Greatest Super-Heroes" and reformed it with a cast of characters who would always be there whenever needed. Second-stringers like Elongated Man, Zatanna, and J'onn J'onnz were joined by new untested characters like teen runaway Gypsy, Latino street dancer Vibe, hot-headed man of metal Steel, and beautiful fashion model with animal powers Vixen! Everyone vehemently hated them, but I loved them. Letter columns to the comics were always filled with readers ranting about the roster and how they would like the Justice League ranks to be filled. I always root for the underdog!
For some reason this grouping has been brought back twenty years later. Here's a shot of Aquaman swimming toward Detroit in lovely Lake Erie!
