Bronze Age Justice League adventure featuring the Conway/Pérez creative team
// Unit specification
// Run position
// Condition analysis
Cover shows strong gloss and vibrant color with sharp corners and no visible creases or spine stress. There is minor surface glare from the protective sleeve obscuring fine detail, and a faint printer's code notation is visible in the lower left margin, which appears to be printed rather than added damage. No tears, folds, or color breaks are apparent along the edges or spine. Interior and back cover were not assessed, so grade is capped conservatively pending full inspection.

// Archive commentary
Justice League of America #191 appeared on newsstands in June 1981, during the run helmed by writer Gerry Conway with art by George Pérez, who had taken over the title's visuals following the death of longtime JLA artist Dick Dillin in 1980. The issue is a standard entry in the team's ongoing adventures from this period, featuring the core Justice League roster of the early 1980s, and reflects the polished, detail-oriented style Pérez brought to the book before his later, more celebrated work on titles like The New Teen Titans.
Market data for this issue is thin, consistent with its status as a middle-of-the-run Bronze Age title without a first appearance, death, or other landmark event driving demand. Certified sales cluster at the high end of the grading spectrum, with a modest premium separating 9.6 and 9.8 copies, while mid- and low-grade raw copies see little recorded transaction activity, indicating the book is bought primarily by JLA run-completists and Pérez art collectors rather than speculative key-issue buyers.
This is a book collected as part of a complete Justice League of America run or a George Pérez art portfolio rather than sought individually. Raw copies in low and mid grades trade cheaply and are readily available, while top-census CGC 9.8 examples command a modest but real premium reflecting the difficulty of finding Bronze Age newsstand comics in pristine condition. Long-term demand is likely to remain steady but unspectacular, tied closely to broader interest in the Conway/Pérez JLA era rather than any standalone significance of this particular issue.
