JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA
The Justice League Library
Introduction
| TABLE OF CONTENTS |
|---|
The Justice League Library (formerly FAQ) is one of the longest standing DC fan pages on the Web. Though admittedly text-heavy, my aim has been to provide fans with an easily accessible onIine reference volume of Justice League information. Here you'll find the essential and the super-trivial. To this end, the Library has grown to also include much other DC Universe information as well.
This, like my Legion section sprang from my own curiosity. All I really wanted to know was: "So... who was a member of this team?" Well, that (not-so-simple) list (now Section 2) spawned this monstrous library. I'm proud of this site (it was recently recommended in Wizard #124). This site will forever remain free of ads, Web rings and other noise. I'm just not interested. Hopefully this contributes to a more readable site for you.
Like most personal pages, this site is done in my spar(s)e time. Input from you fans helps me keep it fresh! If, as you peruse, should find outdated or incomplete material, I encourage you to send me your corrections, additions, suggestions, etc. I want this FAQ to be as complete and accurate as possible. It's more than just my site, it's a resource for all DC Comics' fandom — so contribute by sending me your comments.
Also, if you maintain a JLA or DC site and intend to "put it to sleep," drop me a line! I can surely integrate your material into this Library.
