Mike Sekowsky pencils/Bernard Sachs inks; page 7; 1963; image size 13" x 18"
Crisis on Earth-Two!

From the classic 'Crisis on Earth-Two!' story, the second half of the first ever JLA/JSA team-up, and the first time in comics that the idea of a multiverse was introduced. DC did this as a way to incorporate their Golden Age characters with the ever expanding roster of Silver Age heroes, oblivious to the can of worms that they opened. This page features the JLA's Black Canary fighting off a group of man-rocks being controlled by the nefarious Wizard. Created in twice-up sale by Sekowsky, the pre-eminent JLA artist of the 1960s. Pen and ink. Art is in excellent condition.
