Volume 1 - 1st printing. "New World Order!" Collects JLA (1997-2006) #1-4.

Written by Grant Morrison. Art by Howard Porter and Dell.

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter - the World's Greatest Heroes - find the public turning against them in favor of a new group of champions: alien superbeings called the Hyperclan. Faced with powers that rival even Superman's, and a hidden agenda that involves the destruction of the JLA satellite, how does the new League keep their first adventure from also being their last? A great starting point for new readers who missed these already-valuable back issues.

1st printing. Written by Frank MIller. Art and cover by Geof Darrow. Geof Darrow was awarded an Eisner for his spectacular artwork on 1995's hit miniseries, The Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot. For all the time and all the care he lavished on those pages, it's an award that was well-earned. When Geof first came into the Dark Horse offices with the finished pages for the two-issue series, we were all stunned by the detail. On these huge pages, there were minute details that we couldn't see clearly without a magnifying glass -- things that would be lost in the reduction and hidden behind word balloons and coloring. At that point we knew we would have to publish an even-more-oversized edition of the series, in black-and-white and sans dialogue, so that everyone could see a better approximation of what we saw. This 11 3/4" x 15 3/4", softcover collection is the direct result of that first viewing, an attempt to show the comics world what we were privileged to see that first day. Reproduced here as large as possible, this action-packed adventure is presented in its "natural state," somewhat akin to watching a widescreen, laserdisc version of Scorsese's Raging Bull. All 65 pages of the original story are included, as well as a gallery featuring some rarely seen art. Even if it took you by storm the first time around, you can be assured that you ain't seen nothing yet! Softcover, 11 1/2-in. x 15 1/2-in., 64 pages, B&W. NOTE: Story is told with NO words. Cover price $29.95.

Guided by the psychotic ravings -- possibly predictions -- of his homicidal brother, Goodfellow must find the truth before more people meet their deaths. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $2.95.
