DC Reveals Creative Teams for 1980s RetroActive One-Shots
|
At the start of April, 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.
In mid-April, DC revealed the artists involved in the six 1970s themed one-shots (see here), and they have now announced the artists involved in the six 1980s themed one-shots, which you can find listed in the issue solicitations below.
The 1980s one-shots are set to be released in early August. Each of these new 26-page stories will be followed by a classic story from its era by the same writer.
Check back in a couple of weeks, when DC will reveal the artists involved in the 1990s one-shots!
