The ill-conceived DC Comics Classics Library series—which so far has
been dedicated to reprinting stories of middling historical and/or
aesthetic value, at a needlessly high price—continues to get it wrong
with Justice League Of America By George Pérez: Volume One
(DC). Pérez’s work on the early-’80s JLA is worth collecting: Though
these comics aren’t as memorable as Pérez’s collaborations with Marv
Wolfman on the contemporaneous New Teen Titans, Pérez’s art
is dynamic, and Gerry Conway’s stories are generally entertaining.
(Though they all end sort of abruptly, as though Pérez ran out of paper
before he ran out of script.) And the CCL package is well-assembled; it
includes an introduction, an afterword, and bonus art, and the printing
job is pristine. But the price point remains ridiculous for this
series. DC is asking for $40 for a normal-sized hardcover containing
reprints of only six issues. Pérez only penciled four more issues of Justice League
during this run. How hard would it have been to include those issues,
instead of shuffling them off to Volume Two, which is also $40? For
that matter, why does the price need to be so high to begin with? By
contrast, the new collection Final Crisis: Legion Of 3 Worlds
(DC) is of a comparable size and arguably of superior quality in terms
of its art and story, and yet it only lists for $20. Writer Geoff Johns
spins off from DC’s Final Crisis crossover to tell a story of
three Legions Of Super-Heroes from three different universes, banding
together under Superman’s leadership to fight the evil Superboy-Prime
and The Legion Of Super-Villains. The story offers fairly typical
“Here’s a bunch of old characters fighting” fare, but with Pérez
handling the art chores (with inks by Scott Koblish), both the
characters and the fighting look absolutely awesome. This is a
collection for people who like a lightning pace and page after page of
costumed mayhem. And it’s a relative bargain… JLA: C-; Legion: B+

DC Comics Classic Library: Justice League of America by George Perez

The DC Collected Editions Panel began
with an introduction by Georg Brewer, DC's Vice President for design
and retail product development. He was joined by Vice President for
sales and marketing, Bob Wayne, and Senior Editor for collected
editions, Dale Crain.
Due to the free-flowing nature of this
panel, the question and answer session took up nearly the entire
presentation. There was an open exchange of ideas, and often an
informal "would you buy this?" poll taken by the panelists in
attendance. Often, obscure titles were brought up, and surprisingly,
Georg Brewer didn't discount the possibility of producing collected
editions of various comics' series, be they obscure or groundbreaking.
(excerpt)
Q: What about Justice League in the Decade format?
A: We're taking an approach to collecting different stories from
different eras - as far as the best-of trade paperbacks and things
along those lines.
The TRIGON collection is a trade and the
next Perez Titans material you see is will be the second volume of the
Archives, probably in 2004. Yes, we'll be recoloring his JLA and Wonder
Woman books when we get to them. No, George won't be doing new covers,
as mentioned earlier.
February 1, 2003 | JLA Postcards Reprinted in JLA TPB?
Right now, the Perez volumes are moving
slowly through the system. Until we need the covers, we're not sure
which way we're going. Neither JLA or WW are currently on the schedule
so we have time to make this work out.
Yes, the plot to #4 is approved but
there's no way George can do all that's left and still have all 4 come
out this year. Neither DC nor Marvel, I suspect, want to wait on a
bi-monthly schedule so we need for George to be well into #4 before
scheduling the monthly event.
January 9, 2003 | Future TPBs
From ES
The Trade Paperback you reported does not exist. This is one guys plan on
how he would like to see them released. He even made a follow up post
this morning saying the same thing. Bob has talked about releasing
George's JLA issues but nothing official yet. Just like Marv wrote the
intro for the second archive addition theirs a intro out at DC but the
book might not show up (maybe a future Errata). DC has probably
commissioned hundreds of intro stories for books and they never saw
print. That's the way the entertainment industry goes.

Excuse me, new to this part of the boards.
Are those tps really gonna come out? If so, when?
No, DC has
announced no plans to publish these books. My list is merely
speculative. Sorry about the confusion and welcome to the DC Message
Boards.
I think Forge and Edge are interesting
ideas but now that CrossGen has repurposed them into a new size, I need
to see those before I offer any opinion/observation.
...
Yes, I know what's on our March and
May-December schedule. However, as stated elsewhere, we constantly
revise the schedule based on market conditions. I'd much rather not
tell you something is coming out in a specific month and then have us
change it. For March, which is locked down, we will have a volume of
JUSTICE LEAGUE ADVENTURES, NEW TEEN TITANS: THE JUDAS CONTRACT (back to
press), WONDER WOMAN: PARADISE FOUND (issues #170-177), GREEN LANTERN:
EMERALD DAWN II and 100 BULLETS: COUNTERFIFTH DETECTIVE.
...
Yes, we're doing our homework on
collecting George Perez's run of Wonder Woman but exact details and
release dates will be forthcoming. Part of the problem is that with
older film it takes longer to inspect and prep.

SwordQuest, with gorgeous George Perez, is owned by Atari, which is now
longer an AOL Time Warner company. Therefore, it'd be tough to produce.
It was also drawn for a different size and wouldn't necessarily adapt
to the traditional comic book trim size. Finally, I don't recall if the
fourth book was ever finished. I do recall, though, seeing the real
prize, the jewel-encrusted sword at a trade show and thought it looked
awesome.

The paper stocks we use on the trade
paperbacks are selected using a variety of criteria. For example, are
we picking up existing film? How was the material colored (believe it
or not, changing paper stock may suddenly ruin a beautiful color job).
And of course, there's that pesky issue of price. Our commitment to a
quality package never diminishes.
Yes, we're talking about collecting
George's JLA and Wonder Woman material. However, given his detailed
work, we have to make sure the film is intact and complete. If not,
then we need to address how best to restore the work without ruining
the look of the artwork which does george and the reader a disservice.
And obviously, we'll be looking for an optimal marketing opportunity to
release such collections.
...
Covers are very important to the overall
mix, but should a collection have 185 story pages, 5 covers and a
minimum of 3 pages of front matter, that's 193 pages. The next signatur
eup makes it 208 pages and raises the issue of how to fill the
remainign pages and by going up a signature does that also mean the
price has to increase? We look at these issues closely before making a
decision.

I thought I'd mention that on the DC message boards under archives, they're saying that we might see the George Perez JLA stories collected in a tradepaper back. I
just hope the quality is good. Even thought there's things to worry about like War or the Economy we also have
a lot to look forward to this year. Me, I'm looking forward to the JLA/Avengers
series more than anything else except maybe the Hard-Cover that comes later.
