The "monkey business" gets serious for the JLA in the concluding chapter of "JLApe: Gorilla Warfare!" In a JLA adventure starring J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter uses his considerable detective skills as he interviews every ape-connected denizen of the DCU, from Angel and the Ape to Detective Chimp to Monsieur Mallah, to get the inside story on the greatest ape villain of all time ? Gorilla Grodd! But will his newfound insight be enough to stop Grodd's master plan to turn all humans into faithful gorilla soldiers? It all comes down to Grodd's awesome "Force of Mind" versus the Manhunter's vast telepathic powers in a cosmic battle for control of the planet, as the wildest Annuals event in history swings to its chest-pounding, fang-bearing conclusion!

Volume 64 - 1st printing. " Nicopolis 1396!" Written by David Nicolle. Art by Christa Hook. By the second half of the 14th century, the once mighty Byzantine Empire had been reduced to little more than the city of Constantinople. In 1391, the Ottoman ruler Sultan Bayazid I 'The Lightning' besieged the city. Pope Boniface IX preached a crusade and a French-led army of 10,000 marched east. At Nicopolis they met the Ottoman army in battle. Ignoring the advice of their Hungarian and Transylvanian allies, the Crusaders charged the Turks and were in turn smashed by the Ottoman heavy cavalry. The last Crusade ended on the banks of the Danube as the Crusaders desperately sought to escape from the pursuing Turks. Softcover, 96 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $19.95.

Volume 15 - 1st printing. " B-24 Liberator Units of the Eighth Air Force!" Written by Robert F Dorr. Art by Mark Rolfe. The B-24 Liberator was built in greater numbers than any other US warplane, yet its combat crews live, even today, in the shadow of the less plentiful, but better-known, B-17. Accounts of the 'Mighty Eighth' in Europe, and indeed many of the books and films that emerged from the greatest air campaign in history, often overlook the B-24, even though it was in action for as long as the Flying Fortress, and participated in just as many perilous daylight bombing missions. Softcover, 98 pages, PC/PB&W. Cover price $22.95.

Volume 16 - 1st printing. " TBF/TBM Avenger Units of World War 2!" Written by Barrett Tillman. Art by Tom Tullis. As its name suggests, the Avenger meted out severe retribution on the Japanese in the Pacific, participating in every major engagement through to VJ-Day. As a key weapon of war, the Avenger was so highly valued by the US Navy that its demand for the aircraft soon outstripped Grumman's production capacity, so General Motors [GM] was contracted to build the near identical TBM from September 1942 onwards. Over 1000 Avengers also saw action with the Fleet Air Arm in both the Atlantic and the Pacific through to VJ-Day, and two squadrons of RNZAF TBDs fought alongside American Avengers on Bougainville in 1944.
