In July Two Morrows Publishings will be publishing the Justice League Companion. I almost missed this as I no longer subscribe to Previews, but it was buried on the back page of DRAW #10 (the one with the Ron Garney Superman cover). It is described as,
Commemorating the Justice League of America’s 45th anniversary, The Justice League Companion is a comprehensive examination of the Silver Age JLA. Written by Michael Eury (author of the critically acclaimed Captain Action and co-author of The Superhero Book), The Justice League Companion traces the JLA’s development, history, imitators, and early fandom through vintage and all-new interviews with the series’ creators, an issue-by-issue index of the JLA’s 1960-1972 adventures, classic and never-before-published artwork, and other fun and fascinating features!
I bought both the Legion Companion and the All-Star Companion and enjoyed both of them. The Legion book was a collection of interviews with almost everybody that was involved with the classic LSH whereas the All-Star Companion was more of an index to the issues themselves. Both had their weaknesses: the LSH book lacked a context to fit the interviews into, while the All-Star book wasn maddeningly unbalanced in terms of what details it focused on. Both could also have been twice as long. It looks like the League Companion may be a happy marriage of the two styles.
Of course what would really make he happy would be fore Two Morrows to publish reprints of the old DC Indexes in book form.
