List of Justice Society titles explained

The Justice Society or Justice Society of America is a team of comic book superheroes in the . First appearing in the Golden year of 1940, the team was originally named the Justice Society of America before being reintroduced in the year of 1960 under its current and most-known name, Justice League of America.[1] [2] Sometime in the early 1960s, a separate team took on the name and mantle of Justice Society of America, and began working closely with the Justice League throughout various team member changes, universes, and relaunches to the present day. (For that particular reason, both titles as well as others are included here.)[3] [4] [5]

Since the reintroduction, a large number of team affiliations, team name changes, and spin-offs have taken place over the decades. The result is the team being prominently featured in many ongoing series, annuals, miniseries, maxiseries, one-shots, graphic novels, trade paperbacks and intercompany crossovers published by DC Comics. All titles and stories are published exclusively by DC Comics under their standard imprint, unless otherwise noted.
