Hello and welcome to another.....what shall I call it?
It's not a DC column, for sure. It wasn't scheduled, but then, nothing in life generally is.
I don't think any of this has been collected so far, but from experience, I can say that's how the best stories are. You find something, somewhere you never thought you would, ever and sometimes, your life is the better for it.
Circa the early nineties, Annuals at DC and Marvel were an unruly bunch - DC had their crossover events and all the annuals of that year had to confirm to the main storyline. Before that, Annuals were merely collections of stories, in the sixties, and later on, full length one shots. But this new breed of storytelling was all the rage for a few years - at least, until the Annuals existed. DC usually went all out, with all the Annuals dedicated to one event, while at Marvel, different families of titles had different events, most of the times. These annuals contained a main story, as well as a few smaller stories, pin ups and all. The main stories would get collected in trades, if released, covering that particular event, but the smaller ones are questionable.
