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).
