As best I can tell, and I did some looking, there’s never been a biography/retrospective for Joe Orlando. Seems like a huge omission in comics history to me. If someone can point one out I’ll be a happy camper. Not even a profile in any of the old comic industry magazines?

Reading the TwoMorrows interview with Joe Orlando, one thing jumped out to me -- he said that Sergio Aragones wrote romance comics for him. I haven't found any information about this online, and the romance comics generally don't have any credits in them. Anyone have any idea what stories he wrote?

GCD indicates he wrote the third story in Young Romance #155. He mostly worked on Orlando edited books, so I’d look there for more.

Some credited, some not.

Is Joe Kubert Presents the best book DC has put out in the last twenty years? Yes. Yes it is.
There. I said it.

...and All In/Absolute Power seems like it might be another one.

...and All In/Absolute Power seems like it might be another one. From what I understand, Absolute DC is going to be it's own separate universe akin to Marvel's Ultimate line. I don't see much future in it, especially considering how bad "New Age Of Heroes" did

I don't see much future in it, especially considering how bad "New Age Of Heroes" did What a stupid bit of marketing from the geniuses at DC... they already have a line of expensive hardcovers, called Absolute with a 20 year track record... so now they are going to create their own "Ultimate" universe, and call it (quick, get the thesaurus... what's the first synonym for Ultimate?) "Absolute". So, when the Absolute line is dead in a year, will they collect it in an oversized hardcover and call it "Absolute Absolute"? And the next time they solicit a reprint of Absolute Sandman, will people confuse it for a comically ripped, emo haircut Morpheus? I swear, an Eighth grade gym class could make better decisions than those clowns.

Sounds like the folks at DC have had too much Absolut & tonic...

You couldn't get me to try to figure out their line right now.
