Superman
Times Past, 1940
Bullies
A JSA Classified story
by Nadra Enzi
In the early days of his career, Superman may not have known where he came from, but he knew enough to use his powers against those he hated most of all — bullies.
***
Clark Kent had supposedly caught a bad cold and could not come to work that morning at the Daily Star newspaper. In truth, Superman caught a protection mob shaking down shop owners in Metropolis’ Skid Row area.
As he leapfrogged from roof to roof, Superman felt like he could sometimes almost hover. He told himself that was impossible until he recalled that being able to jump an eighth of a mile was supposed to be impossible, too.
He decided to get out today and see where he could help out. He’d been diligent in his duties as Kent the reporter for a week without … Continue Reading…
Plop! Justice Society of America: One Night Before Christmas
Plop! Justice Society of America
One Night Before Christmas
by Drivtaan
The classic Christmas poem retold — JSA style!
***
‘Twas the night before Christmas,
And at the North Pole,
A calamity had struck,
And it was looking no-go.Chicken soup was cooking,
Hoping it’d do the trick;
Like I said, a calamity,
Because Santa was sick.Then Mrs. Claus was inspired
On how to save the day;
She put in a call,
To the J.S. of A.Now, Wildcat was on duty,
When the first call came in.
“Dis must be a joke,”
He said with a grin.Then came a second call,
But he ignored that one, too.
“Must be dem kids,
“Like that Little Boy Blue.”Finally, a third call
Saying, “The hour is late.
“Get off your fur,
“And get Doctor Fate!”So, he sprang to his feet,
Toppling his chair with a crash;
He called
Our Army at War: Silent Night Patrol
Our Army at War
Silent Night Patrol
by Drivtaan
“Silent Night” is one of the world’s most well-known Christmas carols. But it takes on new meaning when seen through the eyes of an American soldier on patrol one Christmas Eve.
***
Silent night.
I listen, but all I hear is the silence of my brothers. It’s funny how easy it is to think of these guys as my brothers. We have so few things in common — the uniform we wear, our vow to defend the Constitution, our commitment to keep America free, the color of the blood that we are willing to shed to accomplish these goals — these are the things that bind us closer than a number of families I know.
Jacobs is the new guy, our little brother; he’s nervous. For the past twenty minutes, he’s done nothing but stare into the mountain-filled darkness … Continue Reading…

Justice League of America
Holiday Remembrance
by Immortalwildcat
During 1987′s alien invasion, the people of Syracuse, New York, were killed by an alien bomb. This Christmas, Firestorm gets a little help from his friends in the JLA to pay his respects.
***
December 24th, 1987:
“It’s been wonderful, guys, but I really need to get back to Coast City. Carol’s invited over some friends for a little get-together this evening.” In the Justice League satellite, Green Lantern stepped toward the teleporter. “I’ll see you all at the wedding next week.”
“You betcha, Hal!” Green Arrow lifted his cap for a second. “Tell Carol hi for me.”
“I have to go, too. Kristin wants an old-fashioned Christmas celebration with Jasma.”
It was a little after seven o’clock Eastern time, and the JLA’s annual Christmas get-together was breaking up. As most of the members departed, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter conferred … Continue Reading…

Showcase: Santa Claws: The Christmas Rescue
Showcase: Santa Claws
The Christmas Rescue
by Drivtaan
When Santa Claws has to make an emergency, he receives help from a most incredible source.
***
Author’s note: All dialogue is translated from the Kitalian language for your reading pleasure, with the exception of the traditional Kitalian Christmas greeting. Enjoy.
***
“Mayday! Mayday!”
The distress call originated high in the Alpo Mountains of Northern Kitaly and was sent out in a multitude of languages, especially those of the surrounding countries. The white-bearded polar bear raised the mike to his muzzle, squeezed the button, and spoke again.
“This is Santa Claws,” he said, “and I’ve been forced to make an emergency landing. Please, can anyone hear me?” He paused a moment and waited for a response. When none came, he spoke again. “If anyone can hear me, I need help. If you help me, I can guarantee that your name will … Continue Reading…
The New Gods: The Angel of Apokolips
The New Gods
The Angel of Apokolips
by Starsky Hutch 76
Apokolips, home of the poverty-stricken hunger dogs and their ruthless lord and master Darkseid, is hardly a natural setting for a Christmas tale. But when the youngest son of Darkseid learns of Christmas, his innocently joyful embrace of the Yuletide season causes others to subtly challenge Darkseid’s rule. Is the answer sending the boy to be browbeaten at Granny Goodness’ orphanage, or is there another solution?
