Thank you to whoever is scheduling the Showcase series.
Kirby's Challenger's of the Unknown. Yes, I will be acquiring that volume. There's also been a bit a clamoring for the Wein/Aparo run on Phantom Stranger. I've only tracked down one issue of that (liked it a lot), but I see that run is getting reprinted here. Good news. |

THE HUNTRESS: THE DARKNIGHT DAUGHTER TP
Writer: Paul Levitz Artists: Joe Staton, Steve Mitchell, Bob Layton, Bob Smith, Bruce Patterson, Jerry Ordway and Mike DeCarlo Collects DC SUPER STARS #17 and stories from BATMAN FAMILY #18-20, WONDER WOMAN #271-287, 289-290 and 294-295 $19.99, 224 pages I think I just crapped my pants. NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!  I never would have thought I'd EVER see that! And the Teen Titans one with Terra. . .awesome!!!  I think I might have to get the Infinite Crisis HC to go with my COIE HC. The Sachs and Violenz one I'll probably get. I liked them in Fallen Angel a lot. |

So many hard covers...
Is it just me or is the whole specialness of Hard Covers getting ruined? Back in the day it had to be a big deal to get the HC treatment, now it seems like anything and everything is getting it.
Just a gripe. 'slater, Luthor |

THE HUNTRESS: THE DARKNIGHT DAUGHTER TP
Writer: Paul Levitz Artists: Joe Staton, Steve Mitchell, Bob Layton, Bob Smith, Bruce Patterson, Jerry Ordway and Mike DeCarlo Collects DC SUPER STARS #17 and stories from BATMAN FAMILY #18-20, WONDER WOMAN #271-287, 289-290 and 294-295 $19.99, 224 pages I was just saying the other day how much I wanted a collection of the old Huntress stories. I specifically remember the WW back-ups as a kid. This will be awesome to finally get. I am a little disappointed that the Infinite Crisis HC won't also include the tie-in specials, but I can see that driving the cost up quite a bit. I wonder if they'll have a seperate trade? Or if we'll have an Absolute Infinite Crisis collection somewhere down the road? |

In the 70s the Stranger was actually cool. He was DC's Dr. Strange. Nobody much cared about Dr. Fate until years later (Giffen's backups in Flash). I'm stunned to see the 70s Shazam! (oh boy, Beck HATED Denny) run and the complete Earth-2 Huntress up there. Is DC going to mine 70s nostalgia as hard as Marvel now? Not a good move, most of DC's 70s output was crap. |

Wonder what the Huntress trade suggests about the status of that character?

Really? Because I really enjoyed some of that crap like the Warlord run, Legion of Super-Heroes, the Detective Comics run by Englehart/Rogers, the Sand Superman arc, the death of Iris Allen storyline and a lot of those Flash stories, Secret Society of Super-Villains, the Englehart JLA run, the JLA/JSA team-ups, Firestorm, etc. |

wow.
with the Absolute Kingdom Come, Lost Girl HC and now the upcoming DC Frontier Absolute edition, i think i'll be broke by september....=( i'm passing the All Star Superman HC coz i'm hoping for an Abolsute edition....=) btw, is DC Frontier that good to warrant an absolute edition? i know the art is great but the only thing i've sampled from Mr. Cooke are his Batman Ego and Catwoman OGN and both was just a average comic story for me.... |

BATMAN AND THE MONSTER MEN TP
Writer/Artist: Matt Wagner Collects BATMAN AND THE MONSTER MEN #1-6 $19.99, 144 pages (No comment other than I really liked the story and art. Matt Wagner is as good a writer/artist as there is.) ENEMY ACE ARCHIVES VOL. 2 HC Writers: Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert Artists: Joe Kubert, Neal Adams, Russ Heath and Frank Thorne Collects stories from STAR SPANGLED WAR STORIES #143-145, 147-150, 152, 158, 181-183 and 200 $49.99, 196 pages (Joe Kubert at his absolute peak, IMO. Hans Van Hammer remains as compelling a continuing war character as has ever been created in the comic book medium.) SHAZAM FAMILY ARCHIVES VOL. 1 HC Writer: Unknown Artists: Mac Raboy, Al Carreno, Marc Swayze; original cover artists: Mac Raboy and C.C. Beck Collects stories from MASTER COMICS #23-32, CAPTAIN MARVEL JR. #1 and CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #18 $49.99, 228 pages (Prime, vintage material. One of the more acclaimed features of the Golden Age.) SHOWCASE PRESENTS: BATMAN VOL. 1 TP Writers: John Broome, Ed "France" Herron and Bill Finger Artists: Carmine Infantino, Joe Giella, Bob Kane, Sheldon Moldoff, Murphy Anderson and Sid Greene Collects stories from DETECTIVE COMICS #327-342 and BATMAN #164-174 $16.99, 552 pages (Not the best Batman run ever, but Infantino's art is terrific, there are some real changes made, and the covers are all winners. First half of The Outsider saga is included, along with the first SA Riddler story, second SA Penguin story, two Joker stories, and the "death" of Alfred.) ABSOLUTE DC: THE NEW FRONTIER HC Writer/Artist: Darwyn Cooke Collects DC: THE NEW FRONTIER #1-6, plus a pinup gallery, deleted story pages and more $75.00, 464 pages (There was a reason I was holding out from buying the tpbs. One of the best mini-series DC has ever done.) ALL STAR SUPERMAN VOL. 1 HC Writer: Grant Morrison Artist: Frank Quitely; original cover artists: Frank Quitely and Neal Adams Collects ALL STAR SUPERMAN #1-6 $19.99, 160 pages (That's a very reasonable price for a hardcover. Probably aimed at the mass market (a tie-in with the DVD of Superman Returns?).) SHOWCASE PRESENTS: THE PHANTOM STRANGER VOL. 1 TP Writers: Mike Friedrich, John Broome, Ed "France" Herron, Robert Kanigher, Jack Oleck, Len Wein and Gerry Conway Artists: Neal Adams, Jerry Grandenetti, Leonard Starr, Bill Draut, Carmine Infantino, Frank Giacoia, Murphy Anderson, Wayne, Howard, Vince Colletta, Jim Aparo, Tony DeZuñiga and Jack Sparling Collects SHOWCASE #80 and THE PHANTOM STRANGER #1-21 $16.99, 544 pages (Neal Adams and Jim Aparo in their primes. Must buy for Halloween.) ADAM STRANGE ARCHIVES VOL. 2 HC Writer: Gardner Fox Artists: Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson and Joe Giella Collects stories from MYSTERY IN SPACE #66-80 $49.99, 228 pages (I'm very pleased to see a turnaround this quickly. Absolutely top notch artwork by Infantino.) BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT ARCHIVES VOL. 5 HC Writers: Don Cameron, Joe Greene, Joe Samachson and Bill Finger Artists: Bob Kane, Jerry Robinson, Jack Burnley, Ray Burnley, Dick Sprang, Norman Fallon and Stan Kaye Collects BATMAN #17-20 $49.99, 216 pages (Classic Golden Age material.) SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SHAZAM VOL. 1 TP Writers: Dennis O'Neil, E. Nelson Bridwell and Elliot S. Maggin Artists: C.C. Beck, Kurt Schaffenberger, Bob Oksner, Dave Cockrum, Alan Weiss, Dick Giordano, Don Newton, Tenny Henson, Bob Wiacek, Vince Colletta, Tex Blaisdell, Bob Smith and Joe Rubinstein Collects stories from SHAZAM #1-24, 26-35 $16.99, 560 pages (I'm very pleased to see this in print. I remember this series fondly from my childhood and it's certainly a good all ages book.) THE SPIRIT ARCHIVES VOL. 20 HC Writer/artist: Will Eisner Collects Spirit stories from January 1-June 25, 1950 $49.99, 196 pages (Getting near the end of the run. Classic material from Eisner in his prime.) GOLDEN AGE DR. FATE ARCHIVES VOL. 1 HC Writer: Gardner Fox Artists: Howard Sherman, Jon Chester Kozlak and Stan Aschmeier Collects stories from MORE FUN COMICS #55-98 $75.00, 396 pages (Expensive, but it's an oversized archive and I'm interested in the material, particularly the early, Lovecraft influenced period.) THE HUNTRESS: THE DARKNIGHT DAUGHTER TP Writer: Paul Levitz Artists: Joe Staton, Steve Mitchell, Bob Layton, Bob Smith, Bruce Patterson, Jerry Ordway and Mike DeCarlo Collects DC SUPER STARS #17 and stories from BATMAN FAMILY #18-20, WONDER WOMAN #271-287, 289-290 and 294-295 $19.99, 224 pages (Now this is a surprise. I'm looking forward to this.) SHOWCASE PRESENTS: THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER VOL. 1 TP Writers: Joe Kubert, Bob Haney, Robert Kanigher, Frank Robbins, Archie Goodwin and David Michelinie Artists: Joe Kubert, Irv Novick, Doug Wildey, Dan Spiegle and Jack Sparling Collects stories from STAR SPANGLED WAR STORIES #151-204 $16.99, 560 pages (More DC war stuff. Again by top notch creators.) |
