	Talent Pool 22 - Julius Schwartz (Sep 2000)
		DC planted both feet firmly in science fiction concepts even as Atlas sought a direction it would find by becoming Marvel, and Julius Schwartz had much to do with this development.
		To help get comics back on their feet, Schwartz turned back to his early roots in science fiction and gave DC Comics a conceptual transfusion that would help maintain that company's health through a bad time for the market.
		By the time DC really got back into the superhero game, with a series of remade heroes that owed less to magical origins than to natures that partook of science fiction convention, Schwartz' impact showed through as something impossible to deny.

	Constantine mini-review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Finally, DC Comics climbs out of the pit of despair and puts forward what is probably the best movie it's had since Batman, 15 years ago.
		Constantine is based on the comic book Hellblazer from DC Comics' Vertigo line, about a magic-using, chain-smoking, demon-hunting anti-hero from London.
		I don't know how loosely the movie is based on the comic, but fans that expect to see the blonde Brit from the comics might be disappointed.

	[No title]
		Despair, Desire's sister and twin, is queen of her own bleak bourne.
		It is said that scattered through Despair's domain are a multitude of tiny windows, hanging in the void.
		Her skin is cold, and clammy; her eyes are the colour of the sky, on the grey, wet days that leach the world of colour and meaning: her voice is little more than a whisper, and while she has no odour, her shadow smells musky, and pungent, like the skin of a snake.

	The 11th Hour Web Magazine - Features - Once Upon A Time...
		The first time I had heard it was in the summer of 1993 at the Chicago Comics Con, when I sat at the same man's feet along with probably at least a hundred others, and he read it to us.
		I had discovered Sandman on the shelves next to the Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman comics on which I had been blowing my allowance since I was old enough to walk to my local comic book store.
		As the series went on, readers were introduced to Dream's siblings, the Endless; Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium who was once Delight, and the prodigal Destruction who went off on walkabout for a few centuries and bears a striking resemblance to actor Brian Blessed.

	Adam Strange #1
		This miniseries may start off slow, with a recap of Adam Strange's origin and his somewhat complicated history but Diggle and Ferry do not dwell on this and quickly go to the meat of the tale: Adam Strange's discovery that his adopted planet of Rann has supposedly been destroyed.
		He falls into despair and then into the hands of the police when his apartment building is mysteriously destroyed.
		This is not one of those revisionist tales where we discover that everything we knew was wrong and the old-time comic character is revealed to be a complete jerk.

		Sandman is a comic series of 75 books from the Vertigo division of DC comics, that is well knowned for its gothic and adult publications.
		However, he wasn't very satisfied by the way comic firms exploit the creators by not giving them the rights of the characters they created and hence the creators themselves only gain a marginal percent of the total profits reaped.
		Hence he and some other comic artist set up Image Comics, one that value creator rights and hence making room for more innovations and better quality work from oppresed artist(anyway, the paper quality is superior too).

		In the wake of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, Americans came together, and in an effort to overcome an unequalled despair, it was one of the country's finest hours.
		The point is clear here: for every triumph in history, there's tragedy as well, and the struggle we face, moreso today than ever before, is to achieve a balance in society...
		The source of the title of this limited series is revealed in the script for the closing scene, and it's a surprising and articulate speech.

	The Comic Treadmill: July 03, 2005 Archives
		The Amazing World of DC Comics was an in-house fanzine of sorts DC published for 17 issues from July 1974 to sometime in 1978.
		This issue also contained full listings of upcoming DC comics in April and May of 1976, as well as news of the latest personnel assignments and character histories for selected villains.
		In 1979, when I became a comics shop customer for the first time, I immediately became a regular buyer of The Comic Reader (a magazine that Progressive Ruin also has fond memories of) and eventually the amazing Amazing Heroes and The Comic Buyer’s Guide.

		He uses a lot of scratchy lines and dark colors, giving the book a raw feel that sums up the message that Rucka seems to be trying to get across.
		I am not familiar with Janson's work in other comics; this was my first exposure to it.
		Considering how overused the character has been in recent years, I would frankly welcome it if DC put the villain on ice for a decade or so.

		With IC and AVENGERS DISASSEMBLE, DC and Marvel have scaled new heights in presenting anguish, grief, despair and death to their readers.
		In the end, Dr. Strange appears to clarify that all the disturbing, horrifying events are a result of 30 years of loose plot threads suddenly manifesting themselves purely for house-cleaning reasons, and taking a number of b-grade, but well-loved Avengers six feet under in the process.
		I may be alone here, but I find it a trifle disconcerting watching Marvel and DC perpetually playing fast-and-loose with the emotional resonance of death.

	The Gaiman Archive / Literature: Never to Wake: In Continuing Praise of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman
		Technically Gaiman's second comic book work, Black Orchid was written before Sandman, yet released after; the Powers That Be of DC felt that the expensive mini-series would have more buzz if Gaiman were already a known commodity and writer of a monthly title.
		Whether it is the closure created by two adjacent panels, the end of a page, the end of an issue, or the marked conclusion of a collection, Gaiman never tells all, leaving the reader to delve even more deeply for a character or event's significance.
		In short, Gaiman approached the comic as no different than literature - in fact, he may have ultimately given it greater respect for being, as Wil Eisner put it in his Comics & Sequential Art, "the cross-breeding of illustration and prose" (8).

		Longtime comics fans will notice plenty of inside jokes in "The Heart of a Star," but most of this book is a red carpet-or perhaps a Persian rug-rolled out for Gaiman's prose readers to see his visions turned into lush, dramatic images.
		From Publishers Weekly Celebrated comics creators Gaiman (Sandman) and Russell (The Ring of the Nibelung) have teamed up to produce a story of deception and vengeance involving the first betrayal, the first heartbreak and the first crime in God's own city of angels.
		From Publishers Weekly Though he won the World Fantasy Award for Short Fiction in 1991, Gaiman is best known as the writer who transformed the WWII-era DC Comics character the Sandman from a Batman-style detective/vigilante into the much darker Morpheus, aka Dream, the being who presides over the realm of Dreaming.
