"Editor Gerry Conway created the team to be "a kind of 'evil' Justice League", inspired by the "Rogues Gallery" that fellow editor Julie Schwartz created for the Flash. Since other editors were somewhat possessive towards the more popular DC Comics supervillains, Conway resorted to sifting through DC's back issues in search of members, finally selecting a lineup of relatively obscure and/or forgotten villains. Conway said: "Obviously, this was lifted from Dick Tracy, but having costumed villains with a shared goal — even if it was simply the destruction of their common enemy — seems to be something that was unique to DC"."

I bought these a few years ago, probably out of a bargain bin, and thought they'd be fun to read but I never got around to it (also since I didn't have connecting issues). They're probably a lot of fun, but now mostly just old comics.

If you need better pictures, let me know what detail you want to see and I’ll take a better one.

I will combine orders! Win more than one lot and I’ll put them together and it’s less to ship and less for you to pay. Once all your auctions are done and you’re done bidding (and if it doesn't offer this automatically) I'll send you an invoice that will have the revised shipping. (It may take me a couple days if I’m not working on eBay listings when they close, but you can also send me a message to say that you’re done bidding and ready for them to be shipped.) Buy more to save more! I don’t mind waiting for payment if you’re buying more than one lot. I’m open to whatever form of shipping you want, and I can adjust the price by sending you an invoice. (I’ll send them via Media Mail if you don’t say otherwise, and by default I will send all orders to the same address if they can be combined.)

I don’t have a business. I’m on here to get rid of stuff I’ve had in storage for a while. It’s a lot of great stuff from my personal collection that I’ve loved over the years but it’s also a lot of stuff and it’s time. Usually I sell comics on here (a lot of from the late ‘80s to the early ‘00s). I should be done with Dark Horse, Image, indies & Vertigo, now it’s finishing mainstream DC, then Marvels after that. I’m a reader so the runs I offer might be inconsistent by book, with single issues often replaced by a trade or collection, but it’s likely a full run to serve reading.

I’ll consider best offers, especially if you want to buy more than one lot.

If the formatting of the text in this box looks sloppy, it happened after I posted it. When I wrote this it all looked fine and consistent but eBay mangles it with HTML after. Hopefully you don't pay attention to these things (though thanks if you read this far), but I do and this is ghastly to me but I have too many of these to post to go over (and it shouldn't have changed in the first place).

Let me know how you're liking the issues! Keep in touch!
