DC Reveals Creative Teams for 1970s RetroActive One-Shots
|
Last week, DC announced that they would be launching the RetroActive One-shot project, which is set to reunite classic writers and artists with classic characters like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash, and Justice League of America - returning to the interpretations they are best known for (see here for the full story).
At the time of announcement, they were only willing to reveal the writers of each one-shot, and left fans guessing as to who the artists would be. Well, DC have now revealed the artists involved in the six 1970s themed one-shots, which you can find listed in the issue solicitations below.
The 1970s one-shots are set to be released in late July. Each of these new 26-page stories will be followed by a classic story from its era by the same writer.
