Originally published as World War II was ending, the stories reprinted in ALL STAR COMICS ARCHIVES VOL. 6 are historical snapshots of the emotions that many Americans were experiencing at that time. Mixing tales in which the Flash, Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Hawkman, and the rest of the Justice Society of America fought against alien robots, traveled through time and battled sentient paintings with adventures that touched on the emotional return of our soldiers and the prevalent anti-German sentiment, these stories simultaneously entertained and mirrored the collective consciousness of the nation.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Vol. 6 Wildcat & Mr. Terrific (Weak art alert!),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All Star Comics Archives, Vol. 6 (DC Archive Editions) (Hardcover)
This particular collection is of interest to fans of the JSA because it contains the stories that give Wildcat and Mr. Terrific their memberships. Instead of being forgotten heroes of the forties, their legacies live on because of these brief appearances. Roy Thomas's intro explains the events leading up to this change in membership clearly. The main problem with this edition is the art. It is of particularly poor quality by lesser lights, with the exception of Joe Kubert's wonderful Hawkman segments, and make the stories appear exceptionally amateurish. It's a shame because the stories themselves are pretty good, especially the one dealing with the heroes being aided by people with disabilities which seems fairly enlightened for the time period. Not some of All-Star Comics finest moments, but has historical value for the comic fan.
