Seth’s Dedication:
This one is for Jon (for always leading the way), and for Andrew Trabbold (who knows what’s important and what’s not). As always, everything is for my
family, but this one is particularly for Stella—may the dark days always be before her time. Also, special thanks to Chris and Steve for letting us build part of a superhero universe.
Jon’s Dedication:
Thanks to Steve and Chris, for allowing me to play in their sandbox; Seth, for being a great friend; Mom and Dad, for everything; Julia, for
understanding why I spent so much time in front of the computer—love you, girl—and Dave, for getting me into all this. Rest in peace, buddy.
Special Shout-Outs to:
The Monkeyfans, the DMA in Madison, Wisconsin, and gaming friends scattered to the four winds; Phil, for helping expand the arsenal; Mike,
Scott, and Jason for lending both comic books and comics knowledge; all those who know Batman’s Shameful Secret, for sharing the many other things they know; and
Brian, for always being willing to talk comics for more than twenty years.
Special Thanks to:
Those in the comics industry who understood why it was important to take us into the darkness of the Iron Age, and who led us out the far side, including (but
by no means limited to) Ross Andru, Jim Aparo, Mike W. Barr, Kurt Busiek, John Byrne, Mike Carlin, Chris Claremont, Gerry Conway, Peter David, Chuck Dixon, Dave Gibbons, Mark
Gruenwald, Sam Keith, Dale Keown, Erik Larsen, Jim Lee, Rob Liefeld, Howard Mackie, Joe Madureira, Todd McFarlane, Frank Miller, Doug Moench, Alan Moore, Grant Morrison,
Denny O’Neil, John Ostrander, George Perez, Whilce Portacio, James Robinson, John Romitas Sr. and Jr., Alex Ross, Javier Saltares, Julius Schwartz, Jim Shooter, Marc Silvestri, Roy
Thomas, Jim Valentino, Mark Waid, Len Wein, and Marv Wolfman.
