Featuring the first appearance of Doctor Light, Justice League of America #12 (1962) is an exciting and suspenseful read that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story begins with Snapper Carr being summoned to the Justice League Sanctuary, only to find out that the team is in peril. Doctor Light has transported the JLA to a surreal universe, from which they cannot escape.
Throughout the comic, Doctor Light uses his powers to beam each member of the JLA to specific worlds that will seal their doom. Aquaman finds himself on a world without water, Green Lantern on an all Yellow planet, Martian Manhunter on a world of fire, and Superman ends up on a world with a red sun. It seems hopeless, but luckily for the JLA, Superman had used his telescopic vision to check out the situation before their arrival.
Superman's quick thinking saves the day once again when he suggests that he and Batman change costumes just in case. This move enables them to escape Doctor Light's traps and save the rest of the JLA members. The team then returns to Earth to prevent Doctor Light's plans for world domination.
One of the things that make this comic book stand out is not just the entertainment value but also its educational aspect. Gardner Fox, the author of the comic, weaves Light's explanation to Snapper Carr about what happens when the electrons of an atom are stimulated into the story, which should keep every parent happy.
