Just an FYI: If anyone still wants to order this, it's listed in the September Previews,p.356 as SEP032790. DCBS is still accepting orders fro September solicits using their downloadable Excel ordersheet for that month, and it's listed with a 25% discount at $14.21. Hope that helps!

I just got my copy today from DCBS. I've only had a chance for a cursory leaf-thru, but there's alot of black and white artwork and pictures, as well as a glossy color cover gallery spanning OB's published works. I think I'm going to enjoy this... (And I saw at least one mention of the Legion, so all you AR collectors HAVE to get this! NYAH! ) "Anytime a good book like this is cancelled, I hope another Teen Titan is murdered." --Cobalt "Anytime an awesome book like S6 is cancelled, I hope EVERY Titan is murdered." --Me

He wrote science fiction before getting into comics and I believe he scooped Asimov on the robot-human interaction stories by several years. Although we associate robots with Asimov today, his series was enormously popular at the time. Holy Cats of Egypt!
