PAUL LEVITZ Prepares for a LEGION of DC Writing Assignments
By Vaneta RogersFor Paul Levitz, this year marks a return to writing comics and the characters he helped define at DC Comics almost two decades ago.
For fans, it means some of their favorite teams and characters are returning, getting Levitz’s unique brand of treatment again.
In May, the writer will launch a brand new Legion of Super-Heroes title, returning to a group of characters he helped define during his run on the title in the 1980s, and he’ll also be writing a story in the revamped Superman/Batman.
And now comes news that Levitz will be writing Lucien of Sandman fame, a character he created back in 1975 that now resides in the Vertigo universe, as he takes part in a chain-written issue of House of Mystery in May.
Although Levitz was a prolific writer for DC during the mid- to late-’80s, most modern readers have known Levitz as an editor and later the company’s publisher, a role he left late last year when DC Comics became DC Entertainment. In his new role at DC, under the direction of the company’s new president, Diane Nelson, he is serving as a contributing editor and consultant while also returning to his writing roots.
Besides all the Levitz projects that readers will see in May, the writer is also taking over Adventure Comics later this year, beginning with a storyline called Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes: Secret Origin.
Newsarama talked to Levitz to find out more about all these writing projects and how it feels to return to some familiar characters.
