Justice League of America #182

Published in September 1980, Justice League of America #182 was a significant chapter in the 'Bronze Age' of DC Comics. It serves as part of a multi-issue arc titled 'The Destiny Crisis,' which notably featured the return of the Justice Society of America for their annual team-up with the Justice League. This tradition of cross-generational storytelling was a cornerstone of the DC universe during the late 1970s and early 1980s, designed to bridge the gap between Golden Age legacy characters and the contemporary heroes of the era.

The issue was written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by George Pérez, a creative pairing highly regarded for their work on team-based titles. Pérez’s dynamic, detailed pencils were instrumental in defining the visual language of large-scale superhero ensembles at the time. The cover, also by Pérez, captures the sprawling nature of these team-up events, which were well-received by readers for their ambition and for honoring the long-standing continuity that anchored the DC publishing line.
