Wednesday Comics
This book was a bold experiment for DC comics. Masterminded by Mark Chiarello each issue was 16 pages and folded out like a newspaper to 14×20. There were 15 one page stories per issue and originally ran for 12 weekly issues. Mark pulled together a real who’s who of the comics industry to work on the book. Some of the creators were Neil Gaiman, Walt Simonson, Joe Kubert, Kurt Busiek, Ryan Sook, Jose Garcia-Lopez, Mike Allred, Amanda Conner and so many more. Some stories were better than others but every week when the book came out made you feel like a kid again looking at the Sunday funnies from the newspapers. The hardcover is the way to go because of the better paper (the original issues used newsprint) and the inclusion of 2 one page strips that were set in advance for back up in case anyone missed a deadline. Plastic Man by Evan Dorkin and Stephen DeStefano and Beware the Creeper by Keith Giffen and Eric Canete it also contains behind the scenes by some of the artist on how they did the artwork. I will admit not all the stories hit a home run, but they all are well above the average comic that is published currently. The stories are also presented in there complete story instead of one page a week of the original release.
