Summary: Great Memories for aging 'baby boomers'
Review: Are you a 'greying baby boomer'? Did you grow up waiting at the local 7-11 for the latest issues of your favorite comic heroes to hit the stands? Do you regret having tossed out all of your old comic books? Remember the days of the 12-cent comic book? If you answered yes to more than one of the above, this book and the series it's part of is for you. I grew up in the sixties, during the 'silver age' of DC comics. I used to spend hours reading, re-reading, looking at covers, and generally following the exploits of my favorite DC characters. The plots are corny, the art dated and you always knew that the good guy would come out on top. What a great time to live in! These archive books from DC reprint the complete stories from all the comics you had and somehow lost over the years. Each is 200+ pages (color) with a slew of your favorite stories. I've purchased a bunch of these and find myself re-enjoying the adventures I read about as a boy of 11. This series is a great momental of our youthful days. If you enjoyed the DC series of comics and would like to see the stories once again, buy one book - then buy them all. Great for relaxation and light reading. ~ Highly recommended ~

Summary: Historical perspective on the JLA and early 60's comics.
Review: How you feel about this book depends on what you were hoping to get out of it. If you're a big JLA fan who wants to know the early history of the group, this is for you. If you like the JLA, but you're not a fan of 60's writing and art styles, you might want to pass. The stories are mildly entertaining, but the "golly gee" tone of the writing is slow in comparison to newer work.

Summary: Essential Gardner Fox / Mike Sekowsky
Review: I read the 6th Volume most recently, but this review might apply to the entire JLA ARCHIVES series. The stories in the series improve a bit as time goes on, but the difference from volume to volume is barely perceptible. You'll have trouble finding a more colorful and bizarre collection of popcorn-science-fiction concepts in any novel or collection of stories; not in comics, not in Larry Niven or in Isaac Asimov, none of those guys. The characters and dialog may seem awkward and stilted (even by the standards of 1960's comics writing), but the inherent weirdness and originality blazes right on through. With the possible exception of Stan Lee, Gardner Fox is the single most influential writer in American comics. In addition to the Justice League, he created The Flash, The Atom, Hawkman, and the 1940's Justice Society of America (and numerous others I can't think of right now). Along with editor Julius Schwartz, he revamped most of those characters in the late 1950's to create what we call the Silver Age of comics. A list of Fox's literary successors includes comics writers Cary Bates, Mark Waid, and Grant Morrison. Mike Sekowsky's artwork is perfectly suited to represent the various alien worlds and super-science characters that recur throughout the stories, even if his superheroes usually look a little off (except Wonder Woman).

Summary: Completely inferior to Marvel. Only has nostalgia value
Review: If you enjoyed "The Super Friends" cartoon, then this book is for you. If you like reasonably intelligent comics like Silver Age Marvel comics, then skip on this. I understand some people like these comics because it reminds them "of the good old days." Anyone needing a reminder about the good old days should pick up some EC classics.

Summary: Great Early Justice League Stories
Review: These were written at a time when book length stories were rare. These stories take place on a larger scale than the average comic story and it is a treat to see all of those great heroes in the same story. The main problem with these stories is the use of Snapper Carr, the mascot. What on earth were they thinking about at the time? He is without a doubt one of the most irritating characters ever created. No, he did not make the stories even the slightest bit more accessible to me.

Summary: When Heroes Were Heroes
Review: This book recalls the days of the sixties, when heroes were heroes, villains were villains, and reasoning and deduction were more useful in defeating evil than fists, guns, and gore. A treat for those of us who preferred the clever plots and cheerful camaraderie of the DC comics of the '60s to the sappy soap opera and relentless angst of Marvel.
