Sorry I didn’t get this out yesterday. I got caught up in watching the Mad Men marathon on AMC, then the Tigers/Red Sox on ESPN. This is funny because I don’t watch a whole lot of TV anymore, let alone a full day’s worth. Let’s get to some links
- At the request of Marvel Comics, TwoMorrow’s Publishing has revised the cover art for Marvel Comics In The 1960s by Pierre Comtois. John Morrows writes, ...don’t worry; there wasn’t any kind of terrible confrontational situation with Marvel over the book. They simply felt it looked too much like a licensed Marvel product with the original piece, rather than the scholarly historical work that it is, and asked us to change it. Posted are the original and the revised covers, you decide.

I’m pretty sure the Wednesday Comics won’t be 16 separate books. Each book would only be 12 pages long which is way too short. If each story got their own book, that book would be smaller then a regular issue of Wednesday Comics.
From Sattler’s quote, it sounds like everything will be in one book, and the stories will be grouped together “according to strips” rather than each individual issue the way we’ve been buying them. 12 consecutive pages of Metamorpho, 12 consecutive pages of Batman, etc.
John I don’t think it’ll be 12 pages long. They’ll have to break it up and put one panel per page or something like that. I’m sure they can stretch each story out to be 80 pages per book. Sell them each for $7.99.
