The Justice Society was originally the idea of Gardener Fox and Sheldon Mayer at National/DC Comics. The JSA was a breakthrough concept in comics since it was the first time that heroes had formed an organization designed to face adversaries greater than any individual member. The Justice Society first met in All-Star Comics #3, a comic designed to showcase some of the lesser known heroes of the DC's titles. Originally, the JSA was to be comprised of two characters from each of the minor titles : Sandman and Hourman (Adventure), Flash and Hawkman (Flash Comics), Green Lantern and the Atom (All-American) and Spectre and Dr. Fate (More Fun). Flagship characters Superman and Batman were given honorary member status.
