Justice League of America #97

Published by DC Comics in March 1972, Justice League of America #97 stands as a notable entry in the Bronze Age of comic books. The issue was written by Mike Friedrich and features cover art by Nick Cardy, an artist whose iconic, dynamic style defined much of the Justice League's visual identity during this era. The story continues the title's tradition of large-scale team-ups, reflecting the mid-1970s push for more complex, serialized narratives within the superhero genre.

The narrative follows a period where the creative team explored themes of social relevance and personal conflict among the core members of the League. As a standalone issue within the long-running series, it is often appreciated by collectors for its representative status of the transition period between the Silver Age idealism and the more grounded character development that characterized the following decade. It remains a fixture for those documenting the evolution of DC's premier super-team during the early 1970s.
