Justice League of America #174

Published by DC Comics in January 1980, Justice League of America #174 represents a notable transitional period in the history of the legendary team. Written by Gerry Conway with interior art by Dick Dillin and Frank McLaughlin, the issue features a narrative focused on the team's ongoing struggles against the Justice Society of America's classic foes, the Injustice Society. This era of the series was characterized by an attempt to balance massive ensemble casts with self-contained, action-oriented plotlines that appealed to a maturing comic book readership.

The cover art, provided by the iconic Brian Bolland, is widely considered the highlight of this particular release. Bolland’s meticulous linework and evocative style stand out against the house style of the late 1970s and early 1980s, marking one of his earlier contributions to the DC superhero line. While the story itself is a standard installment in the long-running Bronze Age series, the issue has become a sought-after item for collectors specifically due to Bolland's distinct visual flair and the enduring appeal of the team's traditional lineup during this transition in DC's editorial direction.
