Roy Thomas, internationally known as a major writer and editor for Marvel and DC Comics, has assembled the most thorough look ever taken at All-Star Comics! Drawing on his lifelong passion for The Justice Society of America, he traces its origin from its beginnings in the 1940s, through its rebirth in the 1960s, the 1970s resurrection of All-Star Comics, and beyond. Thomas has complied exhaustive research to highlight key issues, outline the genesis of this fabled series, and document the contributions of the artists, writers, and editors who made All-Star Comics one of the most sought-after collectibles in comics history. Along the way, he tracked down numerous pages from a never-published JSA story, presented here for the first time. In addition, there's a discussion of four "lost" issues of All-Star, plus more insights, explorations, and conjectures than you can shake a Junior JSA badge at! This second printing has a higher price point than the previous printing of this book.

All Star Comics Companions is a Great Book,
This review is from: All-Star Companion Volume 1 (v. 1) (Paperback)
"All Star Comics Companon, Volume 1" is a great book. Roy Thomas gives the complete history of the All Star Comics comic book series. Not only does he give the complete story of the complete run of "The Justice Society of America" series in :All Star Comics," but also continues on to when the "Justice Society of America" series was canceled and was replaced first by a series of funny comic book characters to finally be replaced by Westerns with the title of "Alls Star Comics" being changed to "Al Star Westerns."
Roy Thomas then goes on to talk about the return of "The Justice Society of America" to DC Comics in the 1960's. Like I said, great book.
