Reprints the origin and first appearance of the Justice Society of America. 

All-Star Comics #3 (originally published in 1940) is one in a series of reprints published in 1975 by comic and toy collector Don Maris. 

While similar in format to the Flashback reprints published by DynaPubs (Alan Light), the Maris editions reprint different Gold Age issues and represent better reproduction quality. 

Note: Hit Comics #1, Plastic Man #2, and Silver Streak #6 are the only issues reprinted by both publishers. 

The Maris and Flashback issues have become very collectible in their own right. 

They also represent a very inexpensive way for comic readers to read and enjoy comics that typically sell for thousands of dollars. 

Each Maris edition is an exact copy of the original comic (including all original ad pages) except that the interior pages are in black-and-white rather than the original colour.
