And that's the third one. The JLA first appeared in The Brave and the Bold #28, cover dated February-March 1960; Green Lantern #1 didn't come out until almost six months later.
Naw, Wonder Woman's own comic was published continuosly from 1942 onward.
Really? Wow. I had thought that WW was a casualty of the Frederic Wertham era.

When our story opens, the Question is investigating an impossible locked-room murder mystery involving a midget and a 6'6"-tall call girl into heavy bondage. Don't worry, I'll explain later. It's all vitally relevant.

She was one of the few that weren't. Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superboy had their titles continuously published through the 50s; Golden-Age back-up features Aquaman and Green Arrow hung on too, as back-ups in those characters' books. (A few other 1940s back-ups survived into the 50s, like Shining Knight, Johnny Quick, and Robotman; but one by one they vanished, leaving only Aquaman and Green Arrow continuing through the 50s and into the 60s, which is why those two eventually became part of the JLA.)
That's also why it's tough to split the Golden Age/E-2 Batman from the Silver Age/E-1 Batman. And Same with Superman and Wonder Woman.
Superman's a little easier; in the late 50s they start bringing in characters and concepts unique to Earth-One, like Supergirl, Brainiac, and the Bottle City of Kandor.
Green Arrow and Aquaman, of course, got completely new origin stories in 1959, vastly different from their Golden-Age origins.

But Batman sticks out. Even after it had been "defined" as two different "Batman's", one would often make referances to the other's adventures, tho they shouldn't of known of them. Weird stuff.
I will give the hint that the two originators of the heroic identities were both JSA members. (And by "originators" I mean they were the first people published in comics to use these identities, later retcons notwithstanding.)
