Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

As background for its multi-part epic Crisis on Infinite Earths, DC Comics released Crisis on Multiple Earths to introduce (or refresh) the reader to the concept of multiple Earths coexisting in the same physical space by vibrating in different dimensions. This volume collects four different story lines (each encompassing two issues) involving the Earth-One Justice League of America (the most familiar DC stars such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman) and the Earth-Two Justice Society of America (older heroes, some with Earth-One counterparts such as the Flash and Green Lantern, but some unique heroes such as Doctor Fate and Hourman), all from the mid-'60s and written by Gardner Fox with pencils by Mike Sekowsky. The best story introduces Earth-Three, where only criminals have the super powers. Bored with committing easy crimes, the Crime Syndicate of America--a band of supervillains with knockoff costumes and dumb names ("Power Ring," "Johnny Quick")--challenges the JLA and JSA to battle. The other stories involve the Crime Champions of Earth-One and -Two, Johnny Thunder's Thunderbolt, and Solomon Grundy and Blockbuster. For more crossover action, Crisis on Multiple Earths was followed by a volume 2. Alex Ross did the cover paintings for all three Crisis... books. --David Horiuchi

I had been reading those stories when I was growing up of the JLA-JSA team-ups. I was even more interested when the Legion was included, but never read how it all got started. Now I have, and it was quite enlightening. Even the greatest super-heroes need help sometimes. When Earth-3 was shown, it was quite the role-reversal. (Odd that the meeting of Earth-4 was saved for 1985 with the Crisis and this was the Charlton heroes.) Very '60s in the artwork and pacing. Good purchase. And when the third team-up never actually happened? THAT was different. The fourth team-up I remember from the JLA issue #146. A Giant Issue (standard at the time) need some filler, so they included a short feature called '100 issues ago'. I went, "Oh. THIS was the whole story." All I need are two more volumes, and I have the whole set.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, wonderful Silver Age stories!
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2002
This book forms sort of a trilogy with two other DC trade paperbacks: "Crisis on Infinite Earths" and "History of the DC Universe." All three books are worth reading, but this is the one tailor-made for silver age fans and people who love the Justice League.
Many years ago, you see, DC established that their heroes of the 1930s and 40s lived in a different universe than the heroes of the 50s they were currently publishing -- an "Earth-2." (Why was the home of the ORIGINAL characters called "Earth-2"? Who knows?) Since the Flashes of the two worlds had met on occasion, the creators of the Justice League of America comic book decided it was time for the current heroes to meet their predecessors, the first superhero team in comics, the Justice Society of America. That first story was successful and became a more-or-less annual event that lasted until the Crisis on Infinite Earths eliminated multiple universes from DC Comics.
This book collects the first several JLA/JSA pairings, each two parts and all done with style, class and a touch of that campy silver age charm that still makes the stories a lot of fun 40 years later. It's great to see DC showing this kind of respect to the classic stories in its library...

5.0 out of 5 stars The Real Deal
Reviewed in the United States on June 29, 2008
This is some great collected work from when comics were fun, and it set the stage for DC continuity for the next twenty years.

Gardner Fox, who also wrote many of the Golden Age characters, wanted to re-establish them in the Silver Age. However, when the Silver Age characters came into prominence, they existed in their own continuity, which would be incompatible with the Golden Age characters returning. His solution was to create an alternate Earth (Earth 2), and explain that the Golden Age characters existed there. The Silver Age characters (i.e.: the JLA) existed on Earth 1.

One of the great things about this is that it also established what became an annual tradition--and one of my absolute favorite things about DC--the annual team-up between the JLA and the JSA.

These are great stories, and are highly recommended for fans of Silver Age comics.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great collection of historical JSA/JLA team-ups
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2002
I guess as a means to collect more money from historical comics, DC has released this collection of JSA/JLA team-ups originally published as the yearly "Crisis" series in Justice League of America comics. For those of us who remember these comics, this is an enjoyable ride down memory lane. It also sets the early groundwork for the eventual 1986 "Crisis on Infinite Earths" maxi-series. If you are into the current JLA/JSA then these issues may be confusing since everything has been "retconned" several times since the 1986 crisis - it seems that every 5 or so years that everything is changed again (most recently with the WWII Wonder Woman). Amazing how DC's attempt at simplification just made everything more convoluted and complex - all the more reason to enjoy these original JLA/JSA team-ups.

3.0 out of 5 stars they don't make them like this anymore . . . fortunately !
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2010
Back in the sixties, THE event of summer was the annual crossover of the Justice Society / Justice League. Every year there would be a tale of a menace too powerful for any one team to handle, so the two squads would join forces. And every saga would reveal new members of the Justice Society to readers encountering them for the first time or re-introducing them to fans who had met them over a decade earlier.

The stories reprinted here reflect the slower pacing of entertainment back then. Gardner Fox's narratives are also pretty formulaic. As far as art goes, DC Comics in the sixties had some of the best in the business: Joe Kubert, Nick Cardy, Curt Swan, Carmine Infantino, to name a few. Artist Mike Sekowsky, on the other hand, was NOBODY's favorite among comic readers as far as I can tell. (Among his peers is another story.)

Unlike some of DC's other Silver Age stories (like Curt Swan's Superman tales), these haven't aged well and require a sense of nostalgia to enjoy. If you're under the age of forty, you will probably not appreciate these tales.

The villains of Earth 1 and Earth 2 swap places with each other to try and outfit the superheroes of their respective worlds.

Some smart writing with fun concepts and bright, bold artwork makes this volume of crossover stories enjoyable. The growth of parallel Earths begins here.

5.0 out of 5 stars The first team-ups between the JSA and JLA!!
Reviewed in Canada on December 7, 2016

This is one of the most special graphic novels I've ever read! This book reprints the first team-ups between the Golden Age superheroes and the Silver Age ones. All of the stories are fun, and I like that each 2-part story features a different mix of Golden Age (Earth 2) heroes including the Earth-2 Flash, Green Lantern, Dr. Mid-Nite, Sandman, Hourman, The Spectre, Black Canary, Starman, Johnny Thunder, the Atom, Wildcat, Mr. Terrific, etc etc. I loved that the writers even gave new tech/weapons for the heroes: since Dr. Mid-Nite is a doctor, he now has a gun that makes your nerves go crazy; and the Sandman can now throw sand and create things with his sand gun, like glass, cinder blocks, etc. The artwork is awesome and I definitely will buy the next books in the series now that I've read this one. This deserved 5 stars and a huge recommendation!!!!

In diesem Band wird die Idee des Multiversums, die in "Crisis on Multiple Earths - The Team Ups Vol. 1" begonnen hat, weiter ausgearbeitet. Die JLA von Earth-1 und die JSA von Earth-2 arbeiten mehr und mehr zusammen, und dann kommen plötzlich die Bösewichte von Earth-3 dazu... Stellenweise recht unterhaltsam, meist aber genauso formelhaft und repetitiv wie die anderen JLA-Titel aus dieser Zeit. Als Vorbereitung auf "Crisis on Infinite Earths" aber unerlässlich.
