George Perez's Upcoming Work on JSA

[kybearfuzz]

I picked up my comic books from the local shop today. On my way out I picked up the Comic Shop News freebie and noticed the cover. The Golden Age Superman fighting the Gentleman Ghost. I took a long look at the artwork below and nearly screamed like an excited school girl. It's the cover of JSA #82 by George Perez.


The Golden Age Superman versus the Gentleman Ghost, JSA #82 cover
The inside story about the upcoming issues, beginning in February, is just as good. Paul Levitz will write a six-issue stretch of the comic with George Perez penciling the issues. It definitely reminds me of comics of my youth.

The cover does make me wonder about the end result of DC's current Infinite Crisis storyline. Apparently, JSA #82 will be a story with the Golden Age Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Three characters I thought were forever gone from DC stories. I am very much looking forward to this.

For those of you who want to see the artwork preview pages for this issue can find them here. It's a four page PDF file.

Oh, and one last thing, does anyone know what has happened to fellow comic book guy xlgmeat? He's not posted in a while. Just curious.

I think that the story must be a flashback tale. That's what I get from the preview pages :)

I do miss them too....

yeah, would have to be a flashback tale, but that's why I'm confused why Power Girl would be on the cover... the Golden Age Bats had long retired by the time she showed up, and then he died very shortly after.

YAY for being this excited over the things going on in comics of late :)

Oh, this is bringing back memories of my teen years, I loved the JLA/JSA team-ups each summer :)
