More Creators Named Working On The DC Comics Band-Aid Project

We've already looked at a bunch of names of creators associated with what we are dubbing the DC Comics Band-Aid, an event expected to be announced at San Diego Comic Con headed up by Marie Javins. Previously we'd mentioned Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Grey, Scott Lobdell and Fabian Nicieza as being attached.

We have been handed the following list by a DC Comics creator of creators currently associated with the project which will see 48 books published over two months.

  • Fabian Nicieza
  • David Gallaher
  • Adam Beechen
  • Larry Hama
  • Marv Wolfman
  • Dan Abnett
  • Len Wein
  • Jeff Parker

A mix of old and new, classic and modern, familiar and less familiar. David Gallaher hasn't written for the New 52 before, but he has written for Zuda with High Moon and a more recent chunk of work for Marvel. Marv Wolfman, after creating so many classics, has been writing Superboy of late. And Dan Abnett is one of the men behind the revived Guardians Of The Galaxy which spawned the upcoming movie. And for Adam Beechen, working on Batman Beyond is grand, but this will also be his first New 52 gig, as will veteran 'Nam and GI Joe writer Larry Hama and Wolverine co-creator and X-Men reviver Len Wein.

What this does indicate, to me, is a willingness to hire less fashionable names, but those with a keen work ethic and familiarity with multiple universe storytelling and a knowledge of comics history…
