Comics Buyer's Guide #1627
Off the Presses, Scoop, Friday, January 12, 2007

F+W Publications; $5.99

DC's new incarnation of The Brave and the Bold gets the cover spotlight in the latest issue of CBG. Their look at the new series is backed up by a great overview of some of the pivotal (and sometimes overlooked) moments from the long-running original. Also in this issue, Harlan Ellison revisits his Dream Corridor, Marty Nodell and Dave Cockrum are eulogized, and Mr. Silver Age holds court on Superman's legendary pals. Another fun issue!

COMICS BUYER'S GUIDE #1627 (April 2007)
Posted: 1/11/2007 9:20:10 AM by Brent Frankenhoff

DC has revived its long-running team-up and tryout title, The Brave and the Bold and Comics Buyer's Guide #1627 features an exclusive original cover featuring Batman, Green Lanter, and Supergirl by Dick Giordano and an inside look at the new series as well as Captain Comics' retrospective of the original series.

Mr. Silver Age looks at Superman's run-ins with mythic and legendary heroes.

Harlan Ellison not only talks about his upcoming Dream Corridor collection, but also reviews Artbox's Frankenstein trading cards.

Speaking of double features, we have not one, but two Top 10 Favorite Covers lists this issue!

Finally, Maggie Thompson looks at the earliest film adaptations of comic strips.

All this and more, plus the largest and most complete monthly price guide in comics.

It's all in Comics Buyer's Guide #1627, shipping soon!

From last month's Previews (for items scheduled to ship Jan. 2007), here's a part of the solicitation copy for Comics Buyer's Guide #1627:

"Get brave and bold with DC as the classic team-up series returns! CBG #1627 has the inside scoop with artist George Perez and writer Mark Waid!"

Since CBG #1625 arrived in stores on November 22nd, I'd say #1627 will arrive in mid/late January.

Just a note - sometimes CBG doesn't come out as 'advertised.' The Previews listing had #1625 as featuring "an exclusive original Avengers cover" but the issue shipped with a JSA cover instead.
