DC's 75th Anniversary

She looks like Claire Danes

What day is it? Maybe I'll have a BBQ at the house and ask my wife to bake a cake. I just wonder if anyone from DC would show? :shrug:

Hi Ian,

 

Are you still keeping the collection current?

 

 

 

Yes totally, and the variant covers and ultimate editions are crippling. It's now costing £1000 a month ($1650) just to keep up. It's a thankless task.

 

At least they started Adventure Comics with 504 as well as number 1.

 

I salute you Ian.

 

Interestingly enough, I was posting here when you first started and I remember your goal...wasn't there some kind of fight that got started between you and someone else? This guy had a copy of the one comic you needed to fulfill your collection, or something like that? Sorry, if this is wrong....my memory's fuzzy.....

Comicopolis, i have doubles of that run. If you are interested send me a PM.

[whisp]

Be nice if they have some 75th anniversary blank covers.

I just think they ought to do something special to celebrate it.

 

I don't think anyone there has even considered it.

 

Maybe reactivate a couple of classic titles to honour the anniversary, like More Fun and All Star Comics.

 

Or something like that Silver Age miniseries, where all the covers looked like authentic 1960s covers.

 

I just think SOMETHING to reward lifetime fans. I've collected since I was six years old.

I like the idea of a new More Fun or All Star Comics. With the Spectre in MF

 

Maybe Sensation Comics with WW even.

How did you find that out?

Especially when someone above said:

 

"I know they have been having artists (such as Mike Zeck and John Beatty) digitally recreating over 100 of the classic DC covers for the anniversary. They are not sure how DC will be using them though. "

[RockMyAmadeus]

Maybe they'll have a yearlong mini-series by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, cleaning up their continuity.....

Exactly.

 

Resurrect their very first ever title, the one that started in February 1935

[shrunkenhead]

Cast my vote for an issue of All Star Comics #75. It would even tie in with the whole "year 75" shtick. Get Perez to draw and a decent writer and you've got a smash.

 

It'll never happen, though.

[Earl Davis]

I heard they are returning Wonder Woman to it's original numbering.

Do you want the art and the story to be like they were back in the Golden Age, or do you want them to be good?

Taking one out of the old Marvel playbook, are they?

That's such a brilliant idea.

 

It could be a second JSA title, as that's by far their best current comic. Or better still, have the original lineup set in the 1940s.

I'm gonna stop myself from answering this for fear of being rude and upsetting people.

I wish they'd do that more often, and respect their heritage. It makes it so much more worth collecting.

Totally agree! I was so happy when they did this with Superman and Adventure Comics. Would be great if they´d do it with every other major character series, like Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash (not major, but can be cool ) and revive More Fun and All Star. That would be sooooo freaking great!

 

And they should count the numbering from the 2nd and 3 series that were published so far. Fe. Wonder Woman would continue with 590something....counting the GA series to #329, the 226 books of the second series and the few from the new.

 

That would definitely show respect to their heritage an continuity!
