R.I.P. Fabulous Flo
From mirror.co.uk
"Fabulous" Flo Steinberg, the woman who helped keep Marvel Comics running in the Silver Age, has died.
She was also a pioneer in Independent comics in her own right.
Her death was reported by a close friend Larry Hama, also an industry legend, on Facebook.
He
said: "I am grieved to report that ‘Fabulous’ Flo Steinberg passed away
this morning after complications from a brain aneurism and metastatic
lung cancer. She will be interred at the Jewish cemetery in Kerhonkson
NY. We are making plans for a memorial in September or October. I will
update on this page.”

Robot 6: Grumpy Old Fan | Titans, go ... away? Posted on June 3, 2010 - 02:00 PM by Tom Bondurant
Thinking about the idea of “definitive” runs (touched on last week)
brings me back to one of DC’s seminal creative teams. Of course, for
fortyish DC fans like me, that team could only be Marv Wolfman and
George Pérez, whose New Teen Titans helped DC straddle the line between Silver Age homage and Marvel-style soap opera.
When NTT premiered in the summer of 1980, the DC superhero line looked pretty static: Cary Bates and Curt Swan on Action Comics, Gerry Conway writing Justice League, Irv Novick drawing Batman, Don Heck drawing Flash.
Not that these were talentless hacks churning out pulp dreck -- far
from it -- but Marvel had Frank Miller, Chris Claremont, John Byrne,
and Wolfman and Pérez themselves. Teen Titans was a twice-cancelled title, yadda yadda yadda, naturally it changed the course of DC’s history.*

COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE #1624 (Oct 2006)
Comics Buyer's Guide #1624 (released in October 2006) includes Brad Meltzer's comments on his '10 Favorite Covers,' and 4 of them were drawn by George:
- The New Teen Titans (Vol.1) #4
- The New Teen Titans (Vol.1) #39
- Justice League of America #195
- Wonder Woman (Vol.2) #1
It's been 10 years since Marvel "reimagined" a batch of its major
characters in the "Heroes Reborn" universe and Comics Buyer's Guide
#1624 celebrates the anniversary event with an advance peek at the
upcoming Onslaught Reborn mini-series written by Jeph Loeb with art by
Rob Liefeld, who also provides this issue's cover. The duo talk about
their experiences then and now in an exclusive interview.
Our coverage of NBC's new Heroes series
continues with interviews with series creator Tim Kring and actor Masi
Oka who plays Hiro Nakamura. Click here for details on how you can win
one of eight promo comics from the show.
Geppi's Entertainment Museum opened to
the public in September and CBG Editor Maggie Thompson was on hand for
the festivities. Check out her multi-page report this issue!
From the very
first time, cover penciler George Pérez indulged his love for
super-detail by craming in 24 characters on a single cover. "That was
the first time I'd drawn that many characters on one cover," says,
Pérez. He then deadpans, "Later, though, I'd surass that number by
multiples!" (No kidding - Pérez packed 562 characters on the Crisis on
Infinite Earths hardcover cover 20 years later.)
There's no
doubting the message of this George Pérez cover: Robin and Kid Flash
quit. "I had to get permission from DC, which was a little antsy about
having the logo obscured," says Pérez. "Part of the inspiration for
that cover was John Romita's cover to Amazing Spider-Man #50, with Spider-Man walking away."
Whoa. This cover gesture of a saddened character holding another has been used since Michelangeo's Pieta statue (most notably, Thor #124's Odin holding Thor, and Uncanny X-Men #136's Cyclops holding Phoenix), but George Pérez's riveting cover stands out because it's Superman grieving over the lifeless body of Supergirl.
Incidentally, NEW TEEN TITANS #39 cover's inspiration AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50 made number one cover of all time, according to Wizard Magazine.
