Justice League Europe
''Justice League Europe'' (''JLE'') is a comic book series published by DC Comics that was a spin-off of the comic book '' Justice League America'' (which was then named ''Justice League International'' (vol. 1) for issues #7 to #25). ''Justice League Europe'' was published for 68 issues (plus five ''Annual''s) from 1989 to 1994. Starting with issue #51 the title was renamed ''Justice League International'' (vol. 2).

The arc featured the JLE fighting The Extremists, a cadre of psychopathic villains patterned after Marvel Comics villains Doctor Doom, Magneto, Doctor Octopus, Sabretooth and Dormammu. The team was originally headquartered in Paris, France but later moved to an abandoned castle in Great Britain. History The Old ...
