Summary: Great Memories for aging 'baby boomers'
Review: This book reprints The Brave and the Bold 28-30, which introduced the Justice League, and Justice League of America 1-6. Nine classic stories from the dawn of the Super Heroes as we know them today. Trying to buy all these issue seperately would drain your wallet, but together in a handsome volume, they are a deal for any classic comic collector!
(Note: This review is for Vol 1, not Vol 2. For some reason, it shows up under both)

Summary: DC's Modern JSA
Review: This review is about volume 1 of JLA Archives. I have to say I love the JSA better than the JLA. JLA, at the time it was made, seemed like a campy version of the modern JSA. Still the issues contained in these books are good and entertaining. This book is written by Gardner Fox, the same man who wrote for the early JSA - so it really is like a historical prespective to compare the two. Warning: If you are buying this book thinking you'll get issues with Batman and Superman - don't count on anything substatial. Batman and Supes usally take a side route in these adventures, not participating, or appearing very little at all. I at first didn't like these issues becuase of the lack of Superman and Batman - but after that inital disapointment the issues become enjoyable. These issues show the first appearences of many villians - like Amazo For those of you afraid this is like the Superfriends, it is and it isn't. It's much smarter than the Superfriends (No Legion of Doom or any dumb ideas like that) but don't expect it to be that smart or intelligent - I emphizise the word: Campy!
Still you don't nessisasrily have to have been born durring 1960 to enjoy these books. They are good and entertaining. (And starting with Volume 3 have regular guest appearences of the JSA)

Summary: Still holding up
Review: This volume contains stories which were a bit removed from the previous ones and characters like Metamorpho (who refused to join) and the Spectre found themselves involved within the adventures of the JLA. One could see the "camp" flavor was here upon us, just months before the 1966 Batman TV series premiered.
