Title:

Justice League of America 3

Synopsis:

Synopsis for ”The Slave Ship of Space!”
As the various members of the Justice League of America are out stopping various natural disasters on Earth, their JLA contact devices suddenly break down prompting them all to return to their headquarters and find out what’s going on. There they are all immobilized by the space tyrant known as Kanjar Ro, who has also immobilized the entire planet. In order to free their world, the Justice League is forced into helping Kanjar Ro defeat his enemies: Hyathis, Kromm and Sayyar.

Using Batman and Snapper Carr as bait to trap Superman in Kryptonite gas, Kanjar Ro has Aquaman, J’onn J’onzz, Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern board his space boat to stop his enemies. Martian Manhunter captures Kromm, while Aquaman and Wonder Woman are used to capture Hyathis, and finally Green Lantern and Flash are used to capture Sayyar.

With his opponents captured, Kanjar Ro refuses to free the Justice League unless they promise not to attack him. However, the League members have recorded all of Ro’s foes saying his name (having all three say his name at once would free the people of Earth from Kanjar Ro’s power) and manage to free themselves, capture Kanjar Ro, and save Superman before the Kryptonite gas kills him. After the battle has ended, the group banish Kanjar Ro and his opponents on a meteor planet, with Green Lantern using his power ring to make it impossible for them to escape.

Notes
This issue is reprinted in Justice League of America Archives, Volume 1 and Showcase Presents: Justice League of America Vol. 1.
The participation of Superman in this story is valid under the Post-Crisis chronology, even before the changes made during Infinite Crisis that restored his status as a JLA founding member in Action Comics #650.
Action Comics #650 retcons this story in a brief flashback but without the participation of Wonder Woman.
