Green Lantern/Green Arrow Misprint Has Some History…

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool pointed out a page mix-up in the Green Lantern/Green Arrow: Hard Working Heroes Deluxe Edition, published that same day. Something that had been pointed out within DC Collections but had not been fixed in the printed book.

Turns out it's not a new error. The same page mix-up also occurred with the Green Lantern/Green Arrow Absolute Edition from 2015 — previous reprints seemed okay. The Absolute Editions are intended to be oversized glossy hardcover reprints in slipcases, a format pioneered by Scott Dunbier at the publisher for The Authority to show off Bryan Hitch and Laura Martin's work and now used for, well, anything going.

It just seems that no one noticed 'til now. And this begs the question: how many of those shrink wraps get busted open anyway? There has been a habit at Bleeding Cool of high-end collections having pagination and printing issues that only come out years after publication, such as what happened with the Identity Crisis Absolute Edition. Apparently, Bleeding Cool's article fixed the subsequent version — without it, it would have been reprinted with the error still there…

Shame we didn't notice the Hard Working Heroes issue before too. Sorry.
