 Best says in part: In between appeals against the Siegel heirs, consisting of claim and counter claim and co-counter claim, came this latest round of filings, and their associated documents consisting of just under 1,000 separate pages, apparently from the collection of Paul Levitz.  DC's stance is that, for a mere $600,000, which has already been[...]

It was one of the more odder publishing decisions. Despite The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen: The Black Dossier passing through DC's legal department with only a few nips and tucks before being cleared, Paul Levitz, decided to overrule them and declared that the volume would not be distributed in the UK for what DC called "international[...]

The past year has seen DC Comics change dramatically, both as a company and as a fictional universe, and with the shakeup of the relaunch both in continuity and in its publishing scheme, the book is almost an artifact of a parallel world. Written by DC writer and former executive Paul Levitz and published in 2010, the massive[...]

We knew that Justice Society by James Robinson and Nicola Scott, set in the DC parallel universe Earth Two, was coming. What we didn't know until today was that it will be accompanied by Worlds Finest, starring Huntress and Power Girl, both from Earth Two, both stranded in our world, following on from the Huntress mini-series[...]

And yes, he has no moustache He seems to have shaved it last last year And it's stayed off. My favourite paragraph? After sharing my own concerns over current limitations of digital comics, Paul says "Somewhere, probably in one of[...]

That's one hell of a drop for such a massive book. Amazon UK are selling the massive 75 Years of DC Comics: The Art of Modern Mythmaking by Paul Leviz

It's only been a few years since Paul Levitz was so disgusted with the way The Boys portrayed superheroes that he cancelled it, and let Dynamite take over publishing the book – only for it to become their best selling title, and selling far more than equivalent DC Comics in the process. Well, Paul's gone now[...]

From The Brave And The Bold TV series, a Huntress credit for ex-President and Publisher of DC Comics, Paul Levitz. Printed creator credits for such characters are often a hard fought prize, usually involving lawyers rather than respect for creators Its the reason Bob Kane is always credited for Batman and Robin, where Bill Finger and[...]

At the time it was presented very much as Levitz stepping down to take a more creative role in comic books Since then it's been reinterpreted as Paul being pushed out by Warners as a[...]

But it would be McFarlane Toys that downsized the most losing almost all their employees reducing to a skeleton staff. Then there was Dave Elliott, fired from Radical, with a court case planned for October. But the firing of the year wasn't really a firing, more of a slightly-pressured resignation, as Paul Levitz left his role as[...]
