Justice League of America #140

Justice League of America #140 was published by DC Comics in March 1977 during the Bronze Age of comic books. The issue was written by Steve Englehart with interior art by Dick Dillin and Frank McLaughlin, featuring a cover illustration by Al Milgrom. This period of the series was characterized by an expansive roster and a shift toward more complex, serialized storytelling that often balanced cosmic threats with the personal interpersonal dynamics of the team members.

The issue is historically significant as part of the tenure of Steve Englehart, who used his time on the title to revitalize the characters by focusing on their individual motivations rather than just high-stakes action. Critics and readers of the era often noted this run for its tighter characterization and its ability to weave disparate plot threads into a cohesive narrative. The design and presentation reflect the standardized DC house style of the late 1970s, prioritizing clear, heroic action layouts that allowed the ensemble cast to be balanced across the panels.
