	Highway 62: Paul Levitz talks with ICV2 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Levitz goes on to talk about some of the other upcoming films attached to DC characters: “…people will not have seen anything like it, and they may come out of it and say, "This is cool!
		Levitz, however, does note that it’s important for the content of the movie to at least somewhat match the content/feel of the comic for there to be any potential synergy between the two.
		Levitz recognizes that some of the market transformation in comics (ie, the importance of actual books as opposed to periodicals) is potentially a threat to diversity in the marketplace:

		PAUL LEVITZ: I think the easiest answer is the one I came up with in discussing with [Mark] Evanier not this time, but a couple of passings ago.
		LEVITZ: The other thing that gets exaggerated by that length of time is that since this is a marketplace in formation, the decision you're going to make in 1998 for something that ends up getting published in 2003you're either going to be really brilliant or praying for an awful lot of luck.
		Levitz couldn't've put it better--we have had a special opportunity that I can't help but attribute to comics specifically, that we have come to relate and respect members of Mr.

	NEWSARAMA - UPDATED: LEVITZ JOINS CBLDF BOARD OF DIRECTORS
		Levitz is primarily known for his work for DC Comics, a company he's been associated with for over 30 years.
		Levitz insiting upon changes to The Authority are in no way like the Federal Government preventing Mike Diana from drawing or creating his work, or taking a comic retailer to court because they were selling adult material to adults.
		So Paul Levitz's spotty record on those issues is as irrelevant to his relationship with the CBLDF as his record (good or bad) on traffic-law issues or intellectual-property-law issues or tax-law issues.

		We were able to catch up with DC President and Publisher Paul Levitz for a brief chat about the branding change as he was between meetings today.

		LEVITZ: Well, when I absorbed some of the film and TV liaison work from Jenette, I did it for a while and realized both my strengths and limitations inherent in it.

		Levitz joined DC at the age of 16, editing the letters page for a comic titled the Phantom Stranger.
		Despite the popularity of superheroes worldwide, their origins are uniquely American, something that Levitz has pondered: "I had a discussion with some Arab cartoonists and journalists a couple of years ago who were concerned about what the superhero represented - perhaps the darker side of America in some fashion.

	NEWSARAMA - LEVITZ ON THE DC-HUMANOIDS DEAL
		The Humanoids library, Levitz feels, fits so well with DC given that it, for the most part, is completely unlike any of its other offerings.
		Levitz does admit that the particular devil in the details of this deal will be introducing the Humanoids material to both readers and, more importantly retailers and bookstore buyers who may not be familiar with it.
		What I respect here is that Levitz is adding to the push to make these books attractive to bookstores and the people who stock them...we need a lot more of that kind of thinking.

		I assumed from Paul's extensive interactions within comics fandom prior to his ascendancy to the leadership of DC that he would fulfill a similar role within the Warner management team.
		Paul Levitz, on the other hand, has managed to not only survive within the Warner power structure, but also to thrive.

		Levitz spoke at length about his own time writing Legion, and a sort of torch was passed, as Levitz endorsed Waid's vision of the book and praised Waid for the ideas he brought to the project, in particular Waid's development of a different sort of futuristic social order.
		Levitz went to pains to explain to fans that his position removes him from the editorial side almost completely, and that many times he sees the comics the same time the fans do - when they come out.
		In Levitz's case, with the Legion being isolated from the rest of the DC Universe for most of his tenure as writer, he was able to focus on keeping the “historical” axis straight.

	Tales From the Database - Mile High Comics, Chuck Rozanski
		Last week, I provided you with a rationale for why I could still admire and respect DC President Paul Levitz, even though he has on occasion implemented policy on behalf of DC that I felt quite strongly was to the detriment of the growth of the Direct Market.
		At that time, Paul was rapidly climbing the ladder within the DC editorial department, and I had just discovered Edgar Church's accumulation of high-grade Golden Age comics.
		Fast forward a couple of years, and I'm now trying to convince DC management (of which Paul is now an integral part) to open up their distribution of comics in the Direct market under similar terms as those that Marvel initiated in the summer of 1979.

		DC didn't even give him this minimal courtesy, knowing how instrumental his work was in making that character what he is. Bit of a shame, really.
		Doesn't it bother you, Paul, when a comics reporter the caliber of Tom Spurgeon, says that the record for the treatment of comics creators by the publishers is frequently depressing, extends back through the history of the medium, and is too long for an article on his web site.
		That it's one thing for publishers to value fair play, but quite another thing to be dragged kicking and screaming into enforcing it in your contracts and conduct, over the course of decades.
