"An all-new, all-different Justice League! In the mid-1980s, the Justice League did one of its most radical lineup revamps ever by making heroes such as Zatanna, Vixen, Elongated Man, Vibe, Gypsy, and Steel mainstay members. Headquartered in Michgan, Justice League Detroit may not have had the name pedigree of previous iterations, but its adventures were no less exciting--and dangerous. Featuring a diverse lineup of characters from different ethnic and gendered backgrounds, Justice League Detroit enabled writer Gerry Conway and artists Luke McDonnell, George Tuska, and Bill Wray to create different stories, different conflicts, and new experiences for heroes that were previously overshadowed by their more mainstream counterparts. A new era of justice had dawned." -- back cover
