The Trade Paperback "Justice League of America Hereby Elects" is a great collection from the first and classic (Silver Age) run of stories from the Justice League of America- but it didn't include 2 big members that actually joined. Instead, it included one that refused membership.
It should have included Firestorm, the Atom, Hawkman and the Phantom Stranger who actually joined the JLA, unlike Black Lightning, who refused membership. Still, the other stories, of Green Arrow, Black Canary, Elongated Man, Red Tornado (my favorite), Hawkgirl and Zatanna were great. I'd love to see an updated revision that includes the other characters and their stories of accepting membership.
