Synopsis

Aquaman and Superman join Flash and Green Lantern, and Aquaman's kiss revives the sleeping beauty Wonder Woman. After they all rescue Plastic Man and Martian Manhunter, Batman surprises the gathered heroes and sends the JLA into the book containing the Queen's land of fables. There they meets the Huntsman who tells how years ago sorcerers banished the Queen and her minions to Earth, where she tortured the commonfolk until her step-daughter Snow White turned the Queen into fiction by mystically trapping her in a book. With this knowledge, the JLA return to Manhattan to re-imprison the Queen.
