Being that, I feel as if I only read comic books every two years, and have only been reading for three, it seems as if I am very new to comic books and the history.
That said, I was happy to have received a couple of books from the 1985 “Who’s Who” series that DC put together.
I wish, they would do an updated book–after all of the Crisis shake ups that are taking place. I’m typically not in favor of a “straight to graphic novel” book–I never want to get rid of the single issues. However, this type of “who’s who” needs to be bound–as long as it is not sky high in price.
In this G edition of the “Who’s Who” I discovered that Jon Stewart did not, as I previously thought, develop first as a character on the animated “Justice League.” I truly thought that’s where he got his start. I’m glad to find out that it is deaper than that because I really like him as the Green Lantern.
It is books like these, that keep guys like me in the loop of all things DC. It is a difficult task–but it would be great to see it again.
