  1. ==Justice Comics==
  2.  
  3. Justice Comics was the original super hero comic published by Sentinel Comics. It introduced Paul Parsons VII as the hero Legacy in May 1940 which comics historians consider the beginning of the so-called Golden Age of comics. While other titles came and went over the decades that focused on other heroes, or even Legacy as part of an ensemble, Justice Comics was Legacy's home and solo hero title. That is, until the early 1970s. One of Sentinel Comics' compeditors in the business of comic books happened to be named Justice Comics as well, and the legal wrangling that this eventually caused resulted in Sentinel ceasing publication of this title after the December 1971 issue, #380. Legacy found a new home in ''America's Finest Legacy'' which began the following month.

  5. This wasn't the end of ''JC'', however. Sentinel Comics eventually resolved the legal snarl by simply buying out their one-time compeditor. After this point, they could resume publishing the title, which picked up with issue numbering where they'd left off. Issue #381 was published in February 1987. This didn't result in ''America's Finest Legacy'' being cancelled either. While ''JC'' continued to be nominally a Legacy book, that role was primarily still held by ''AFL'' and ''JC'' was, in reality, used as a newcomer-friendly title that had frequent stories featuring other heroes or crossing over with storylines in other titles. If you were new to reading comics, ''Justice Comics'' was a good place to start.

  7. ''Justice Comics'' continued publication through the end of the "Multiverse Era" of the Sentinel Comics setting, culminating in the OblivAeon event, ending after issue #74X in XXX 2017. This marks it the comics title with the longest period of time between its first and last issues at 76 years and 9 (X?) months.
