 | | As we covered previously in these pages, National Comics ran rampant over the other comics publishers in the early 1940s with their all-star lineup of superhero characters: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Lantern, Hawkman, and many others. |
 | | Although the series was by definition a little formulaic, with the team unfailingly meeting up at the beginning of each issue, meeting up with adversity in individual chapters, then reuniting to achieve victory in the final chapter, the stories had a surprising degree of social consciousness, championing such issues as democracy, charity, tolerance and brotherhood. |
 | | Some readers (and comics professionals) felt the whole thing horribly convoluted and needlessly complex, while others embraced the notion of the Multiverse, and the wide variety of story possibilities it allowed. |
