An Idea

One of the companies affected by the Comic Book Code Authority was Marvel Comics (Atlas Comics at the time). When Stan Lee was getting used to his new job as editor at Atlas Comics, Martin Goodman, went to a gold game with the publisher of National Comics, Jack Liebowitz. Liebowitz casually mentioned how a certian comic book was doing surprisingly well. This comic book was The Justice League of America, a team consisting of superheroes. This got Martin Goodman thinking, maybe Atlas Comics could make a superhero team just like the Justice League of America.

"But, as so often happens, a tiny, almost unnoticed pivotal event can change the course of a person's life. This partiqular pivotal event was a chance golf game between Martin Goodman and Jack Liebowitz, the publisher of National Comics."
~ Stan Lee, (Pg 112) Excelsior! The Amazing Life of Stan Lee
