  Justice Society of America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Justice Society of America, or JSA, is a DC Comics superhero group, the first team of superheroes in comic book history.
It was later revealed that the reason the JSA didn't invade Europe and end the war was due to the influence of the Spear of Destiny which caused the JSA's most powerful members to fall under the control of its wielder, Adolf Hitler.
It was also revealed in the 1980s that the JSA had a loose affiliation with the All-Star Squadron, a new team of the time, whose adventures were set in the past, of which each of its members were a part, as both teams were the brainchild of American president Franklin D. Roosevelt.

 Justice League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1962's Justice League of America #9 Earth was infiltrated by the Appelaxians, competing alien warriors sent to see who could conquer Earth first to determine who will become the new ruler of their home planet.
Justice League of America initially was amongst the most popular of DC Comics' publications, but by the end of the 1960s, it was overshadowed in sales and quality by Marvel Comics' superteam the Avengers.
The Super Buddies were the remainder of the Justice League International that regrouped to be a team accessible to the common man.

 BBC - h2g2 - The Justice Society of America - the First Super-hero Team
The Justice Society of America, or the JSA, is the world's oldest super-hero team, having endured from 1940 to the present in a variety of forms.
The JSA was initially a group of super-heroes who met to discuss their cases and was (very democratically) composed half and half of characters from each of the two companies.
Batman of the Justice Society married Catwoman, had a daughter named the Huntress, retired from the JSA to be replaced by Robin and the Huntress, and was eventually killed off.

The JSA were the stars of the title again, but the book itself was usually titled "All-Star Comics starring The Super Squad, featuring the Justice Society of America", to reflect the presence of the three young heroes who were added to the team to ostensibly grab the new readers.
The modern day Justice Society, was relegated to a fate that many readers considered far worse than death, having to re-enact the Norse battle of Ragnarok over and over for all eternity (as a result of the events in The Last Days of the Justice Society).

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: The Justice Society of America
A new Flash in 1956 was followed in 1959 by a new Green Lantern; and in 1960, the new crop of heroes was gathered together as The Justice League of America.
By '63, the revival was in full swing, and the JSA itself was brought back for a series of annual crossovers with the Justice League.
During the 1980s, recognizing that they were getting a bit long in the tooth even for comic book characters, DC, at the impetus of writer Roy Thomas, started a second-generation Justice Society, called Infinity Inc., consisting mostly of the sons and daughters of JSA members.

AMERICA VS. THE JUSTICE SOCIETY (January 1985) is probably Thomas’ most accomplished work with the characters, as he manages to retell practically every JSA story ever published, while still crafting a suspenseful and satisfying mystery.
To prevent the end of the world, Dr. Fate transported the JSA to the otherworldly realm of Asgard, where the Justice Society would forever battle in the place of the Norse gods, preventing the end of the world by dying in fierce combat with Surtur and his forces over and over and being forever reborn.
Fully expecting the JSA to be gone for good, Thomas and artist Todd McFarlane even devoted a full issue of INFINITY, INC. to a JSA memorial, as the Infinitors go about the chore of informing the Justice Society’s friends and family of their departure from this world.

 Opinions 52 - Casualties of Editorial Malpractice II: The Justice Society (Apr 2001)
In the case of the Justice Society of America, DC has done this more than once, as if not deeming these characters worthy of anything more than a hastily cobbled-together dismissal.
The Justice Society reappeared sometime before 1996, when I took up the comics vice again, and the details of how they came back in time for a new interpretation of the group to make ripples again in the superhero comics market.
Perhaps it took somewhat less than fifty years, since the Justice Society had several abortive attempts at redemption in the interim and, furthermore, only some forty-plus years separate the eviction of the superhero team from the pages of All-Star Comics and their reappearance in a robust and popular title (today's JSA).

Introduced in the classic JLA: Justice for All, the JSA are back in action, pitted against an unstoppable foe, emerging from the mists of time to challenge the reformed team.

 Justice Society of America 100-Page Super-Spectacular Review - Silver Bullet Comics
Like the Justice League volume last year, this one revisits that format (without the new story), positing an answer to the question, “What if a JSA 100-Pager had been published in 1975?”
As was characteristic of the early Earth-One/Two stories of the Silver Age, this one features a rather contrived excuse for a cross-over.
The two Flashes are inventive and intuitive in defeating Vandal Savage and freeing the six retired JSAers he has imprisoned, and the JSA decides to come out of retirement (thus making possible the annual JLA/JSA team-ups which were so popular with fans).
