JLA: THE GREATEST STORIES EVER TOLD TP (Feb 2005)

(excerpt)

"Great" is a relative term. This is more like a sampling of the history of the Justice League. We have a classic Silver Age story by Gardner Fox, a shocking story from Deny O'Neil, and a humorous take by Giffen & DeMatteis. 'Identity Crisis' seems to have influenced the choices of the editors. Most of these stories involve the JLA revealing or protecting their secret identities. One story has Dr. Light making the heroes think they have each other's secret identities. Another is a three-part tale with the Secret Society of Super-villains swapping bodies with the JLA. This story was referenced in 'Identity Crisis', and continued in 'JLA: Crisis of Conscience'. Other stories include the idea of false identities. A disguised Joker tricks Snapper Carr who wants to forge a new "identity" other than the JLA's mascot. 'JLA' #61 shows what the heroes do in their normal lives before they're called into action. And 'Justice League' sees the new Dr. Light approached in her civilian identity by the secretive Maxwell Lord.
