A series about the best of the best…
Paul Kupperberg — comics writer, novelist, historian and 13th Dimension columnist — has a spectacular new publication out: Direct Comments, collecting about two dozen never-completely-published interviews from the ’70s to the ’90s, mostly with some of DC’s greatest creators. We’re talking folks like Carmine Infantino, Denny O’Neil, Julius Schwartz, Jerry Ordway, Jim Aparo and many, many more.
You can order the $16 paperback through Amazon — and to spotlight this treasure trove of comics-history gold, we’re hosting a weekly series in which Paul will pay tribute to his favorite works by 13 of these creators. The series will mostly run weekends through the summer, with a few exceptions, and many installments will be timed to the creators’ birthdays.
All the links will be collected here, so make sure you keep coming back!

I just learned of this book last night on the Word Balloon podcast (and was reminded of the 13th Dimension website. Doh!). There is mention of an autographed copy of this book on the web; how do I get one of those? dkp
