I don't think I have to mention this but some of the best comics being produced today — at least of the super-hero or adventure variety — aren't produced today. They're the Archive Editions that DC is bringing out to reprint its old comics in fancy hardcover keeper volumes. Yes, they're a little pricey. Yes, some of the reproduction sometimes shows a bit too much retouching. Yes, I sometimes write the forewords.
But they're still great to have — every one of them — and they're developing a following of fans who don't just collect them. They lobby DC as to what the next ones should contain. Spearheading this is a fellow named David Stepp whose website sports a list of all the Archives to date, plus news of what's upcoming. He also runs periodic online surveys (one recently concluded) as to what DC should next bring forth, and they seem to have had some influence in those decisions. Whoever said fans can't make an impact?
