The Stone King (Justice League Novel)

March 27, 2002: “Justice League” Novels

You may recall that in the DC Comics Solicitations for December 2001 the first of six "Justice League of America" novels was announced. Published by Pocket Books publication "Justice League of America: Batman - The Stone King" is available this month in all good comic shops and book stores.

"The Stone King", the first of six full-fledged, adult prose paperback novels starring the team, is written by "Batman" veteran Alan Grant and features a painted cover by Alex Ross, who contributes iconic, graphic covers to the entire series. As this first title implies, each book in the series is told from the point of view of a specific Justice League member, with the exception of the sixth book, which will feature each hero equally.

The second Justice League novel release from Pocket Books will be "Justice League of America: Wonder Woman - Mythos", written by Carol Lay, which is scheduled for September 2002 release. Future books in the series include:

  • Justice League of America: The Flash written by Mark Schultz

  • Justice League of America: Green Lantern - Hero's Quest written by Dennis O'Neil

  • Justice League of America: Superman written by Kyle Baker

  • Justice League of America written by Christopher Golden

    "It's been an exciting challenge, pulling this series together," says Charles Kochman, DC's in-house editor on the series. "We're fortunate to have a lineup of writers that includes some really diverse but appropriate names. I'm certain fans will enjoy the books, and new readers will find the series to be both accessible and exciting."

    In addition to five core Justice League members whose names appear in the books' titles, other DC Universe heroes, including the Martian Manhunter and Plastic Man, appear in the novels as well.
