NEW HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #1 (OF 4, DC COMICS, $5.99) is by Mark Waid, Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck, and that alone is enough to interest me. The fact that Waid, one of my favorite writers and a DC history expert, is figuring out

Oni Press's new "EC" imprint first came to my attention when my retailer gave me a double-sided promotional poster (because I buy all those archival EC reprints published by Dark Horse and Fantagraphics and IDW). I thought it was a good sign that the
I was reading Action Comics #398 (March 1971) this morning, in which Clark Kent covers the Seaside Folk-Rock Festival and I thought it might be fun to cite some lyrics from rock songs as written by the "hep" writers of '60s and '70s era comic book wr

I have been bellyachin' about DC not releasing '70s era Superman for so long now that if I didn't buy this volume on the day it was released I could be classified a hypocrite. In point of fact, DC did release some of this material (Supe

I found out just yesterday (along with the rest of you) that Peter David died. When prominent comic book creators pass away, I like to pay tribute to them by reading their works. Not that I'm looking to make a "discusussion" of this, but "Supergirl"
