The The Brave and the Bold #28 in context
Why collectors care
The first appearance of the Justice League of America, cover-dated March 1960, in the story "Starro the Conqueror." The team's success directly prompted Marvel to create the Fantastic Four, making this arguably the most historically consequential Silver Age DC book.
How to identify it
The Brave and the Bold #28, March 1960, 10-cent cover. The Justice League appears in a try-out run across #28-30 before graduating to its own title.
Common mistakes
Buying Justice League of America #1 (1960) as the first appearance. That is the first solo series, also in this catalog; the team debuts here.
Grade considerations
A 1960 book with a busy, colorful cover that shows wear readily. High-grade copies are scarce and command large premiums given the historical significance.

Inclusion
All 5 recorded eBay sold (completed) listings in this historical sample, grouped by grader and grade. Asking prices and active listings are never counted.
Outlier handling
Within any grade that has four or more sales, a price below one-third of, or above three times, the within-grade median is set aside before the median is taken. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
A comic sale that sold for under a third of the median of this issue's lower-grade sales is also set aside as a probable reprint, facsimile, later printing or restored copy, since a higher grade of the same book should not sell for less. No sales were set aside on this rule for this item.
This issue also has a documented sale of a real copy: a CGC 0.5 copy sold for $801 at ComicConnect on Oct 1, 2024 (source). A sale at that grade or higher for under 10% of that price is set aside as a probable reprint or facsimile. For this item, 0 of 5 sales were set aside on this rule.
| Grade | Sales | Included | Set aside |
|---|---|---|---|
| CGC 2.5 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CGC 4 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CGC 8 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| CGC 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
