Justice ran 32 issues. It was one of the four titles that remained
after Jim Shooter left Marvel.
He was a warrior. A law officer in his own world. He has the
awesome power to destroy, to shield, to protect and to read the true
nature of a man by his aura. How he came to this place he cannot
remember. But this he knows -- the good must be protected and the
evil must be exterminated. He is Justice.
Created by Archie Goodwin and Walt (THOR) Simonson, JUSTICE is
perhaps best known for the writing of former HULK and present
CAPTAIN MARVEL, SUPERGIRL and YOUNG JUSTICE (no relation to the New
Universe) scribe Peter David. He wrote the book during the last half
of its run.
Archie Goodwin died in 1998 after an illustrious career with both
Marvel and DC. Also of note were three artists who went on to make
it big: Geof Isherwood, who later wrote and drew DR. STRANGE; Keith
Giffen, who also worked on DC's JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL and DR.
FATE; and Lee Weeks, who made waves as the artist of THE DESTROYER,
DAREDEVIL, X-MEN: THE MAGNETO WAR, and various SPIDER-MAN issues and
limited series.

After the New Universe, Justice appeared briefly in several issues
of Spider-Man 2099. An extensive
fan fiction
site was also spawned.
