My first story for DC Comics!
I've been pretty excited about this for a while and wanted to share, but couldn't until it was official. Well, they just posted the December 2010 DC Comics solicitations, so I guess I can finally reveal that my first writing for DC will be in the form of a Spectre story in the DCU Holiday Special 2010!

Here's the cover by Matt Haley:



And here's the official solicitation:

Quote:
DCU HOLIDAY SPECIAL 2010 #1
Written by DAN ABNETT & ANDY LANNING, SETH ALBANO, TONY BEDARD, JOEY CAVALIERI, KEVIN GREVIOUX and DARA NARAGHI
Art by RENATO ARLEM, ROBERTO CASTRO, RICHARD & TANYA HORIE, CARLO SORIANO and more
Cover by MATT HALEY
From the dawn of time (Anthro) to the far-flung future (Legion of Super-Heroes), sentient life has honored the winter holidays with celebrations and rituals as diverse as the universe itself! Join DC Comics - and a stellar team of writers and artists - to honor the vast and diverse holidays of the DC Universe in 6 tales of holiday cheer! Starring the aforementioned characters along with Superman, The Spectre, Jonah Hex, and Green Lantern John Stewart for a HOLIDAY SPECIAL like no other!
On sale DECEMBER 8 * 56 pg, FC $4 .99 US
I don't know who the artist on my story will be yet, but as soon as I do (and have artwork to share) I'll post it on my blog.

Oh, and some stats to put this all in perspective:
  • Number of years writing comics (from small press to IDW/Image) before landing first DC gig: 10
  • Number of pages of published comics before landing first DC gig: 843

A big thanks to Mike Carlin for making it all happen. And I suspect the "getting my foot in the door" was the easy part, compared to landing a follow-up assignment, but we'll see how it goes.
