Art of Amanda Conner


I've finished this oversized 300 page hardcover yesterday. It reprints the following comics:

Superman: Lois Lane #1, Birds of Prey #47-49, JSA Classified #1-4, Supergirl #12, the Green Arrow/Black Canary Wedding Special, plus stories from Secret Origins 80-Page Giant #1, The Joker: Last Laugh Secret Files #1 & Wonder Woman #600,

That's quite a lot of comics. I really enjoyed it (hence why I managed to breeze through it in a week but that's also modern comics for you). The stories were by different writers so some were better than others but the art was consistantly great. Favourites - Birds of Prey, JSA and Supergirl.

I'm going to continue with the Amanda Conner theme with a couple of trades next.

One point to note. It's ironic that this week, whilst I was in the middle of this, DC announced that next Feb (2014) a trade reprinting all Amanda Conner's Powergirl will be released. That's JSA Classified 1-4 & Powergirl 1-12. Well the only issues I'm missing out of that run are 7-12 but that trade apprears to be very hard to find and an ex-library copy went for £17.77 on ebay. So the good news is I can get the complete run...the bad news is, I needn't have bothered getting the first Power Girl trade. Bad timing!
