Welcome to Litsy!

Darwyn Cooke wrote and illustrated this throwback story of the Justice League's origin that is an homage to the themes and aesthetics of Silver Age comics. My one complaint is that there might be too many characters who are too similar.

Although I'm not always a fan of the more cartoony/caricature style of drawing I understand why Cooke felt it would fit this story. I have to say that the only reason I've taken so long to pick it up is the style. Waiting was a mistake. This is absolutely fantastic. The way Cooke weaves the destinies of real life comic book writers and artist into the fabric of a superhero story is extremely powerful.

Some of the best cartooning ever drawn.

One of the most beautiful series of panels from Darwyn Cooke, RIP.

I'm re-reading this in memory of the great Darwyn Cooke, who passed away at the obscenely young age of 54 yesterday. This remains my favorite superhero story EVER. And Darwyn Cooke will always be my favorite artist.

RIP Darwyn Cooke 🙁

Darwyn Cooke's art will always be some of the most beautiful, celebratory art the comic world has ever seen. http://www.comicbookresources.com/article/celebrating-darwyn-cooke-through-his-w...

Rest in peace, Darwyn Cooke.

I resolved to explore DC in 2016, but my enthusiasm flagged after a couple of New 52 titles. THE NEW FRONTIER changed that. This celebration of the Silver Age DCU is as accessible to newbies as to established fans, and it left me keen to learn more about these iconic characters.
