28 Years Ago, DC Comics Gave Readers the Perfect Justice League Origin

The comic book event Crisis on Infinite Earths dramatically reshaped the DC Universe, including the history of the Justice League. Originally, Wonder Woman was a founding member, but Crisis altered that. After the event, Wonder Woman didn’t appear until later, requiring a new origin story for the League. It wasn’t until 1998, in the comic JLA: Year One by Mark Waid, Bryan Augustyn, and Barry Kitson, that readers finally saw the complete postCrisis* origin. This version masterfully blended the team’s past and present, providing a satisfying and cohesive history.
