But where this excels is how it uses the medium to its fullest extent. For a crime and detective story, that’s a good hook. In this new arc, we have Penguin proxy-murdering the wealthy elite of Gotham for shunning him and framing Batman for his murder as a final act before an unnamed illness finally does him in. But it was seeing those previews for this new arc and them going hard on the Danny DeVito-era Penguin look that ultimately convinced me to take a glance. And then this new jumping-on point for Batman was announced with Zdarsky as the writer and Cowles on letters and my interest was piqued. I’d seen the accolades for Daredevil, but I somehow stayed away. I’d been familiar with his work from Sex Criminals and Howard the Duck, in the pre-troubles era, but as much of his work recently came from Marvel, I had kept my distance. Episode 533: A Discussion of Don Marquis’s Archy & Mehitabel with Rachael Tillman!Ī not insignificant portion of Batman ending up in my pull-list is due to the chipper himself, Chip Zdarsky. He received his MFA from the University of Central Florida. _ Drew Barth at Miami Book Fair in 2019.ĭrew Barth ( Episode 331, 485, & 510) resides in Winter Park, FL.

But he does deserve to be the story, even if it’s just this one time. His axiom is that it’s a journalist’s job to cover the story, not be the story. Being in the background might be best for a newspaper man like Perry. Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen’s Boss Perry White is an oddity: a couple short stories on a character who’s older than Green Lantern (Alan Scott or the entire Corps), but has always just been in the background. But then that’s what makes him so much more real. He smokes, he drinks, he has grandchildren, and he has more ink under his nails than any other character. Like the Daily Planet itself, he’s always in the background, just existing, keeping things grounded for the rest of Metropolis while Superman does something super. But while JJJ is the screaming face with a heart of gold, Perry has always been more subdued. Jonah Jameson: old newspaper men that gave our heroes stable jobs outside of their super-selves. While not as expansive as some of the 80 th anniversary compilation counterparts, Perry White still showcases what made Perry such an endearing character on the same level as J. Coupled with stories from Matt Fraction, Steve Lieber, Nathan Fairbairn, and Clayton Cowles, this one-shot becomes a love letter to this singular figure in the DC Universe and their strange kind of realism. And for a few silent panels, we get the moment Clark Kent shows Perry the Superman suit for the first time. There’s him and Wildcat sitting down for a drink as they reminisce on the past and their worries for their children. Some of these stories include shorts from the 70s where Perry receives cigars that grant him superpowers or the origin story of his working for the Daily Planet as told to his grandchildren. Perry White is a compilation in the same vein as many of the anniversary issues DC has been putting out over the past few years-the exception being that this is mostly past material collected into a single issue. But now we have a one-shot in the form of Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen’s Boss Perry White to finally acknowledge the editor-in-chief we’ve grown to love. He’s been consistent in the same way the Daily Planet has been in the DC Universe: always there, always chugging away, always acting like an anchor for Metropolis that keeps it from seeming too fictional. While Perry has been around since the 40s, there’s not been much celebration for him. But then that’s connected the grounded aspect in the form of Perry White. Some aspects feel grounded while others seem absurd at first, but eventually make perfect sense in the context of their fictional world-like Jimmy Olsen having a stable job for so long.
